My new favorite sandwich

duck prosciutto sandwich

Or.. Duck Prosciutto, fried egg and arugula (rocket) in a baguette.

So I am really making this duck prosciutto I cured stretch. Friends have called me and emailed me saying “so… how is that duck prosciutto?”.. which I am taking to mean “hey, buddy, you call yourself a friend!! - you are hoarding that gold to yourself aren’t you.. come on, share the love, I thought we were friends”.

My rather cheeky sense of humor means that I am going to keep posting photos and recipes of different ways to use the prosciutto until it is all gone! (cue evil laugh).

There really is nothing to this one to be honest - it is all just simply about good quality ingredients. This would taste pretty rubbish if a crappy loaf was used.. if the egg was from some dodgy battery farm, and the duck prosciutto was replaced with a cheap ham. Not to mention some rather bland mass produced arugula (rocket to us Brits).

Seafood Miso Soup

Seafood Miso Soup

Whenever I haven’t eaten seafood in a while I always seem to end up doing a big mix of the lovely stuff in bowl. This was absolutely no exception.

I have always been a fan of seafood soups. Bouillibasse (in it’s many incarnations) has been my favorite for a long time, but takes a while to cook which wasn’t something I was after on this particular night. Miso soup on the other hand can actually be ready in a flash, even if you do dump a big stash of seafood in it.

The home cured duck prosciutto is done!

Finally. It has taken a while. The book said 1 week (the book that shall remain namless, Ruhlman). It has been closer to 5 to be honest.

I posted a while back about the start of the duck prosciutto. I had decided that after the failure of the bresaola, I had to cure something. So, I chose to cure two different types of duck breasts.

Braised Oxtail Ragu

I was in two minds whether to post this. I am rather unhappy with the photograph – the lighting sucks (mainly thanks to me not using my scrim to diffuse light coming through the window), the composition ain’t great either. It put the whole photograph together in a rush. I wanted to eat the ragu, and eat it fast.

But, here it is. I wanted to talk about oxtail a bit, so deal with the photo..
