Mustard Ice Creams from two favorite chefs

Mustard Ice cream is the popular frozen savory item. Two of our favorite chefs have it on there menus. Maya Erickson of AQ in San Francisco was just nominated for Food and Wines Best New Pastry Chef. Nick Sullivan is Chef de Cuisine at 610 Magnolia, Edward Lee’s, from Bravo Top Chef, Restaurant in Kentucky.

 Both Mustard Ice creams would pair well with wild game, pates or try with a sweet strawberry dessert.

Duck Pate and Torchon

With such a warm winter I haven’t stopped thinking about ice cream (not that we every really do). But now that it is getting chilly I am starting to think of that hearty rich winter food. Perfect time of the year to make a pate to snack on. The pacojet’s coupe set is the perfect tool for helping with this. The two- cutter blade purees the duck breast to an almost smooth texture for a delightful country pate. Try the four- cutter blade on foie gras to make a smooth creamy torchon.

Duck Pate
4 duck breast, skin and fat removed and reserved
2 duck hearts and livers
1 red onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup diced apricots
¼ cup dried Bing cherries
¼ cup toasted pistachios
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
Salt and pepper
Bacon 

Place duck skin and fat, fat side down in sauté pan. Place on low heat and render fat. Remove skin. Sauté red onions and garlic in fat till tender. Place duck meat, onions, and fat in a pacojet beaker. Chill till fat is cold. Using the two-cutter blade pacotize once. Fold in dried fruit, pistachios, tarragon, and salt and pepper. Line a terrine mold with bacon. Place duck mixture in terrine mold and cover with bacon. Tightly cover mold with foil. Place terrine mold in a water bath. Bake at 325f till pate reaches 158f in center. Remove from oven. Place a weight on top of terrine, such as a soup can. Allow to cool. Refrigerate for 12 hours, remove pate from mold. Remove bacon, slice and serve.

Mangotini

The Pacojet is a great addition to any high end bar. Use the Pacojet to make fresh fruit and herb purees. Just add you alcohol over fresh fruit, herbs, and other flavor enhancers and use the four cutter blade from the coup set to puree. Place frozen drink bases in beakers, freeze, then pacotize for creamy smooth frozen drinks.

Mango Martini

½  mango, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon caster sugar
4 ounces vodka
1 ounce triple sec 

Add all ingredients to pacojet beaker. Using four cutter blade from coupe set pacotize twice.

Avocado Spread

I am always amazed at the versatility of the Pacojet. The four cutting blade in the coupe set puree soft fruits and vegetables in to a fine paste or puree. Pacotize twice to insure no lumps have formed. In 2 minutes you can have a spread, sauce, or dip. 

Avocado spread
2 Avocados, peeled an pitted
4 ounces Sour cream
1 ounce Red onion
1 Jalapeno
1 clove Garlic 

Combine all ingredients in beaker and process with 4 blade cutter.

Caramelized Yogurt

yogurt_spoon

Caramelized yogurt is one of the most versatile food items in a modern kitchen. Caramelizing the sugars and proteins in the yogurt completely changes the flavor profile. I like using the thicker Greek yogurt. Place the yogurt in a vacuum seal bag and cook at 180f in a circulator for 24 hours. When you remove the bag from the water you will see the water in the yogurt has separated, strain off the yogurt. 32 ounces of yogurt will yield about 10 ounces caramelized yogurt. The caramelized yogurt is coagulated and needs to be blended. You can do this in a blender but need to add more liquid to it: more yogurt, caramel, milk. Using the whipping disk with the pacojet yields a smooth creamy product with a pure taste. Just place the strained yogurt into a beaker and pacotize twice with the whipping disk. Use the finished product in savory and sweet applications. I have used it with Indian spiced lamb chops, fresh berries, and chocolate cake.

Hummus

When using the four blade the pacojet can do most things that a blender or robo coupe can do. We think even better. With a blender so much liquid is need to start a vortex and move the food. With the pacojet the machine moves not the food and needs much less liquid, giving you a pure flavor. Try this flavorful creamy hummus.

Hummus

18 ounces drained Chickpeas
1 Lemon juiced
3 ounces Olive oil
1 clove Garlic
1 ounce Tahini
salt and pepper to taste 

Combine all ingredients in beaker and process twice with 4 blade cutter.

Green Curry Paste

The 4 blade from the coupe set is great for pureeing fresh spices and herbs. Using it is fast, easy, and clean. Unlike a blender there is no need for large amounts of liquid, and unlike a robot coupe there is no scraping down the bowl and starting again.

Curry paste

1 stalk Lemongrass, chopped
1 Shallot, diced
3 Bird peppers
4 cloves Garlic
½ cup Basil
½ cup Cilantro
1 Lime zested
3 tablespoons Fish sauce
