First Time Ever - Sushi!

Both Shyam and I love sushi, and it's been a long wish of mine to try to make my own. Finally, I've assembled enough needed ingredients and equipment to make my first attempt. Earlier today we bought some fresh sashimi-grade seafood. I started our evening meal with a Japanese-Peruvian fusion dish out of Art of Peruvian cuisine book with octopus (cooked), and then it is on to actual raw stuff - some nigiri rolls, maki rolls, and, it so happened, sashimi. Let's get started!

Haute Peruvian Cuisine

And this Sunday's dinner I went for something new and special: a recipe from a restaurant in Peru - Foie Gras con Tacu Tacu de Lentejas. Description from the book reads:

"This is one of Coque's wonderful 'nouvelle cuisine peruvienne' dishes served at 'Le Bistrot de mes Fils'. The pairing of lentils with foie gras and fruit works particularly well. The result is a spectacularly innovative way to serve traditional Peruvian tacu tacu."


Exciting, isn't it?
