Salmon ham avocado beets wasabi topped with passion fruit dressing
Lembit Lounge Cuisine
Fantastic combination of different tastes between smoked, salt, sour and with consistence that varies between crispy, creamy and soft. Absolutely delicious dish.
Start with the beets. Peel, cut in halves/quarters and let them boil in salted water. I've done it a couple times and they are some stubborn vegetables and will takes about up to 45 minutes to be soft and ready. You do not want to chew on a semi-ready beet.
In the meanwhile, place the serrano ham on a baking sheet paper and set in the oven at 140°C/285°F for 15 minutes so the ham dries.
Suggestion: add a few minutes for the really crispy touch. It's like super crispy bacon without fat.
Further, scrape out the passion fruits and put in a blender together with olive oil. Use a mixer to blend a smooth dressing and taste with a pinch of salt.
Slice the avocado. Spread salmon, beets and avocado on the plates. Shred the serrano ham into strips and spread over. Put a few clicks of wasabi dots around the plate, both for taste but as well as decoration. Finally, drizzle over the passion fruit dressing plus have decorated with some green hacked ruccola.Enjoy!
