Thanksgiving Dinner with Caviar- Caviar Tacos

How fun is this -Tacos with caviar?

This recipe comes from Dean Fuller of Castle Ranch Steakhouse.

This is another great recipe but we are going to step it up with some real high quality caviar from Lady Elena Caviar and reduce the quantity needed from a full teaspoon to a half of teaspoon of caviar. The recipe calls for salmon roe. Salmon roe is exactly that -roe from salmon. This is not true caviar. Caviar comes only from the Sturgeon fish.

Ingredients:      

• 1 large Idaho® Russet Burbank
• 3 tablespoons soft cream cheese
• 3 half teaspoons of Casual Caviar 1 (Hackleback Sturgeon)
• 4 sprigs fresh dill
• 2 red radishes
• Olive oil as needed

Directions:

1. Place the potato lengthwise on a flat surface and slice at a 45 degree angle, 3 thin slices, like a potato chip.
2. Immerse in boiling water or a steamer for 5 seconds to soften and make pliable, then set aside and let cool.
3. Next, fold up like a taco shell, and using tongs dip in 350°F oil until crisp. Option – spray with olive oil and bake in a 325°F oven until hard and golden brown. Set aside.
4. Make a V-cut in the remaining portion of the potato (see picture) to make the taco-style shell. This V cut will let the boat sit up right on the stand. Coat with olive oil and bake for 45 minutes at 400°F or fry in 350°F oil for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown . Set aside.
5. With a stick blender or hand whip, whip the cream cheese until soft. Then put in a pastry bag with a small round tip.
6. Slice a red radish very thin, cut into strips and immerse in ice water.
7. Take the taco shell-style potato boat in one hand, hold gently and apply the cream cheese into the bottom of the shell, 3/4 of the way up.
8. Add one-third of the strips of radishes per shell.
9. Add half a teaspoon or less of Casual Caviar 1 (Hackleback Sturgeon) to the center top of the shell. (there are approximately ten 1/2 teaspoons to an ounce of caviar)
10. Add 3 or 4 small sprigs of fresh dill. Place in the potato bases.

Thanksgiving Dinner With Caviar - Some Ideas from Lady Elena

Marscarpone Mashed Idaho Potatoes with Caviar

Allen Susser from Chef Allen's Consulting has created this recipe using Idaho Potatoes and caviar. This recipe makes a suggested 4 servings.

We love the recipe but to make this more accessible to everyone's budget we suggest that you keep the recipe as is but half the serving size. ( Do not worry about not having a 3 inch ring mold.) We also recommend the use of our caviar and the Casual Caviar 1 (Hackleback Caviar) to reduce the cost but still have the great caviar food pairing experience. Also, our caviar is high quality and we do not recommend the use of lemon juice on the greens and have removed it from this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 4 large Idaho® potatoes, peeled
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 2 teaspoons butter, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
• 1 Meyer lemon (regular lemon may be substituted), washed, zested with microplane 
• 1 ounce of Lady Elena Cavir - Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon) or Casual Caviar 1 (Hackleback)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• mixed micro greens
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Place your order for Lady Elena Caviar at http://ladyelenacaviar.com/products
2. In medium ovenproof saucepan, bring potatoes to boil with 1 teaspoon salt and water to cover by 3 to 4 inches. Lower to simmer; cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. (If potatoes are still moist, dry slightly in preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes.)
3. Using manual food mill, mill potatoes into large bowl. Add butter; mash. Add mascarpone, lemon zest, remaining salt and pepper. Mix until just blended.
4. To plate, divide potato mixture among four 3-in. ring molds, gently pressing down with back of a teaspoon dipped in water. Lift molds slightly; top potato mixture with 1/4 oz. caviar, forming a circle of caviar around rim of ring. Place on individual plates; remove ring mold.
5.  Drizzle the mixed micro greens with extra-virgin olive oil, toss and add as garnish to potato rounds.
6. Enjoy the flavor of the caviar with the potato.
