Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 04 : Heart lettuce crunchies
Yippeee another week and a new challenge lettuce, I don't often use lettuce since I am the only one that eats it in my household hihi ... I make it when I get company though... this evening I went all out on lettuce on a 2-course lettuce dinner, my dads friend got out of the hospital this afternoon ( she had an aneurism in her head 2 days ago and we have been very worried for her and her dog has been here with us, so it was wonderful that she came home.) I was planning to do my first entry to this weeks contest today and the second tomorrow ... but had already shopped and on the spur of the moment I invited her to stay for dinner so I made both my dishes !
Not a lot of pics as she was talking with me in the kitchen while I was working ...
My first entry is a starter where heart lettuce is the star wrap
Ingredients
heart lettuce
canned crabmeat
red grapefruit
avocado
mayonaise
strawberries
salt and pepper
lime boats
a couple of the ingredients
simply mix the mayo, just a little, with crabmeat, grapefruit meat and avocado and season to taste
it's fresh the grapefruit and the crabmeat is very fresh so the mayo does not weigh it down at all
plate it...the strawberries add a little sass... this is fingerfood ... I serve it up on a plate with a portion for each and a possibility to add on the filling ...
Get that proofpic before it is gone ...
...it is a simple dish ... but the combination of flavors work wonderfully and when you fold up the lettuce and bite in it explodes with taste and crunch in your mouth and with the surprising elements of the red grapefruit and the strawberry it is quite a wonderful bite ... and it went down very well with my dads friend and myself... my daughter refused to taste and my dad looked weird in the face by the prospect of digging into the unknown .... so 50/50 win hehe it all disappeared though !
Stay tuned for the main ... I will be posting it tomorrow, as it is quite late here now ... and I still have a bit of work to wrap up in the arts department !
