The BEST dinner ever and dessert











Seared Tuna with an avocado and jicama salad. On the side Green Tea noodles with a noodle sauce.

The Avocado and Jicama Salad:
  • avocado
  • jicama
  • greens
  • macadamia nuts

To make this delicious salads you need to do the following:
Shred the carrots and jicama, cube the avocado, roast the chiles and then dice, toast the macadamia nuts and toss all of these ingredients with the green leaf lettuce in lime juice, olive oil and salt. Serve this salad with the seared tuna and combine the two if desired.

Green Tea Noodles,

  • 1/4 cup of white wine
  • sugar
  • dried mushrooms
  • 1 cup of water

  • 1 scallion
Place dried mushrooms in boiling water and allow to simmer for 2 minutes, add soy and wine and simmer for 5 minutest. Take mushrooms out and dice. Dice chile and put chile and mushrooms back in sauce and top with minced scallions.

Dessert:

I tried to get a fancy name for this dessert but Gram snapped me back to reality and reminded me that most fancy restaurants don't name their dessert and merely show a description of it. So here is the description for the fancy and delicious dessert Gram made.

  • pain de genes ( the cake like on the picture)
  • peaches
  • greek yogurt
  • oatmeal/almond tuile (see pic. and look for a craker/cookie almond like thingy )
I added some of Chef Gram's notes so you get an idea of how he works .
ENJOY!!
