STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 ROUND 07 : CUCUMBER TZATZIKI 2.0!!!
Hello my dear Steemit friends!
I hope you all have had a great week with the theme of the week set up by @progressivechef for the 7th round of Steemit Iron Chef!
From my side, it was not such a busy week but looks like this coming week I will surely be very busy - specially it is the end of month, so we will get a lot of guests at our restaurant.
This week, I even got time to go for fishing with the chef - it's been long we did not meet!
So yes, coming back to this week's theme, I have the pleasure to show you what I did with the cucumber - CHECK IT OUT!!!
CUCUMBER TZATZIKI 2.0
Tzatziki is a classic food and here I tried to add my little touch to it and make it a little bit attractive - Hope you like it!
I kept my dish vegetarian so that anyone can try and enjoy it!
Ingredients List
- Cucumber / Tomato / Apple / Garlic / Starfruit
- Lettuces / Mint / Yogurt / Olive Oil / Gherkins
I started by cutting the white cucumber in small brunoise and season with salt - this is to extract the maximum of water from the cucumber.
Then I finely chopped garlic and cut some fresh mint leaves.
After 10 minutes, I pressed the cucumbers to take off maximum of water.
Then I added the yogurt, garlic, mint and olive oil - Mix everything well together, check the seasoning!
Next I sliced the green cucumbers as you can see in the below photo!
And prepared the rest of the garnishes that will go on my plating!
Plating time!!!
Make some cannelloni with the sliced cucumbers and stuff with some of the tzatziki...
Place the remaining tzatziki at the bottom of your serving plate...
Then delicately put the cannelloni on top of the tzatziki.
Then Freestyle...
And then as usual I did the plating freestyle based and delicately put the rest of the garnishes...
Enjoy the food photography now...
Proof Photo
Not to forget the proof photo to validate my entry...
Just before serving this dish, you just need to add some virgin olive oil and some rock salt - perfect salad!
I really had a lot of fun plating this dish - not always easy to make a tzatziki looks nice!
I hope you've enjoy my entry for this 7th round.
Once I get some time, I will check out the entries from my other friends of SIC - I am sure you are also doing some great plates!
Wish everyone best of luck!
See you all next round now!
As always, your plating skills are the best!
Good luck
