The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 36-Tiramisu
"...In order to balance its strong vinegar aroma and not spoil the original taste and taste of the chicken, I used a light pickling process on the small tomatoes, using the sweet coriander among the three unique Italian herbs." Basil'." Erina said.
Whether it is Italian or French, the essence of this vegetable chicken skewers is to use the slightly sour sauce and the sweetness of fruits and vegetables to enhance the taste of the chicken.
In the traditional "French vegetable chicken skewers", lemon juice is added to the sauce, but now it is replaced by vinegar directly by Erina, and it is the famous Italian black vinegar!
Although the amount is well controlled and did not make the whole sour, Italian balsamic vinegar is sour and mellow, and lemon is sour refreshing. The difference between the two is not only the degree of acidity...
To make up for this, fruits and vegetables are particularly important, especially the small tomatoes.
However, if you want to balance the mellow vinegar aroma of the small tomatoes, just increasing the amount will reduce the proportion of chicken, so Erina used "basil", a sweet herb.
In Italy, rosemary, thyme, and basil, three herbs are called the "Three Musketeers of Herbs", the first two of which are also used in "French Vegetable Chicken Skewers", and now Erina's "Conscious Vegetable Chicken" String", the last kind of "basil" is also added.
The three vanilla swordsmen blend with the taste of balsamic vinegar, making the taste of Italian vegetable and chicken skewers sublimated to a different direction from French...
Suwon even felt like he was packed in a wooden barrel full of black vinegar, surrounded by flower fields of various spices... But unfortunately, he was still expressionless!
If Suwon was not calm and ate the third one one after another, Erina would almost doubt life!
Then Erina put the third plate in front of Suwon.
"Next is the third "Try the Waldorf Salad"!"
The salad obviously does not need to be kept warm. The reason why the plate cover is covered is for the "surprise" effect. In addition, there is a bag of ice in the plate cover to cool slightly.
Liu Subaru couldn't help grinning when he heard Erina's completely unconcerned name.
Yuhime whispered to Ryoko, "Waldorf salad? That's it, right? American salad with chicken breast?"
"En, but it looks like this'Italian' is somewhat different..." Ryoko frowned.
Suwon turned over the "Italian Waldorf" salad with a knife and fork, but found that in addition to the special chicken breast, it also used small tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, onions...
In other words, it is all the ingredients of the previous "Italian Vegetable Chicken Skewers"!
Liu Subaru can't help but raise his eyebrows... Use the same ingredients for the main dish and the salad?Erina would actually choose such a combination!
The Waldorf salad in American cuisine is a salad of chicken breast, various fruits, vegetables, and nuts, adding cream and salad dressing, and stirring.
The American fruit production is high. As an American salad, in addition to chicken breast, the protagonist of Waldorf salad should be fruit, but the "Italian" variant of Erina is obviously different.
Onions, green peppers, red peppers, small tomatoes... After seeing Suwon, he still said blankly: "Just mixing the ingredients of the main course and adding'Italian' is to underestimate Italian cuisine. Up."
Erina ignored Suwon’s dissatisfaction and said with a confident smile: "Chef Suwon should try it first! It's not just the ingredients!"
Suwon forks a pile of green peppers, small tomatoes, and chicken breasts, and stuffs them into his mouth with a sauce that is obviously also added with "balsamic vinegar"...
Suwon's time seemed to pause for two seconds, and he was still motionless with his fork.
Two seconds later, Suwon's cheek moved quickly like a hamster, chewing at an extremely fast speed, and then he kept pushing the salad on the plate into his mouth.
After a short while, the salad on the plate was wiped out, and Suwon's movements were still done in one go, there was no pause at all, but there was still no change in his expression or eyes!
Seeing that the other party was addicted to salad, Liu Subaru could not help but whisper to Erina with a confident smile: "The existence of Suwon-senpai is really a silent accusation against this Yanyi world..."
Erina, who had originally smiled like a queen, couldn't help being weird when he heard Pleiades Liu's words, as if he wanted to laugh, but at this time he felt that the smile was very low and he was holding back.
As for Suwon’s reaction, other students were already shocked. Although they were still expressionless, everyone already knew that this was an inherent character attribute of Suwon. It was already surprising that she could chew like a hamster. Up.
To be precise, only Suwon would use this method to express her satisfaction with the dishes.
Just when there was only some soup left on a plate of salad, Suwon silently wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then looked at Erina blankly...
At this time, Erina realized that Liu Subaru was no longer by his side, turned around and found that Liu Subaru was at the cooking table, trying to eat the extra portion he prepared!
"Hey! It's not for you to eat now...no! It's not for you at all!" After Urina shouted, her face flushed. She didn't know why, but remembered Liu Subaru's way of helping other students to try the food before. Prepared a copy for him.
Seeing that Suwon was waiting for him, Liu Subaru quickly put down his knife and fork and walked over.
At this time, Pleiades Liu already knew the secret of Erina's "Italian Waldorf Salad". Erina said "not just the ingredients are the same", meaning that the sauces in the salad are exactly the same!
The only difference is that the ratio has been changed. The sauce of "Italian Waldorf Salad" is obviously more refreshing than the sauce of "Italian Vegetable Chicken Skewers"...
Mainly with basil and balsamic vinegar, supplemented by rosemary, thyme, and black pepper, a sweet and sour salad dressing is prepared, with cooked chicken breasts, fresh green peppers, red peppers, small tomatoes... …Because the ingredients and sauces are highly consistent, after tasting the "Italian vegetable chicken skewers" and then tasting the salad, there will be an additional taste bonus!
"You have confidence in me too!" Liu Subaru said in a low voice as she passed by Erina, but the latter just gave a arrogant snort.
When these two are taken out separately, they are only "super two-star" dishes, which are similar to catfish noodles and Norwegian langoustine dumplings, but when combined, they have an upgraded effect, comparable to "super three-star" dishes... …
The only pity is that Suwon's food looks like a hamster, but he still doesn't see other expressions!
And for the fourth course, the "cakes" that are not easy to shine, undoubtedly increase the difficulty.
Liu Subaru looked at the fourth "cake" pushed in front of Suwon, and said secretly: "This is the last chance!"
It was then that Suwon was staring at him motionlessly, as if he saw "maliciousness" in his eyes...
"Ahem, this is the fourth course, the special dish I prepared... it's called'Liu's Tiramisu'!"
Liu Subaru said that he opened the cover of the fourth dish. Inside was a square, dark red "Tiramisu".
On this topic, Liu Subaru and Erina have different directions of understanding. Erina is trying to make other countries' cuisines in an Italian style, while Liu Subaru is showing the exotic taste that is similar to Italian cuisine.
However, this "Tiramisu", on the surface, does not really show any characteristics...
Erina looked at "Tiramisu" with a strange expression. When she went to gather ingredients together, she knew best what Liu Subaru's "Tiramisu" was made of.
"Tiramisu? This is Italy's classic dessert pastry. There are already a wide range of categories. If nothing more, even a small change can not be considered beyond the scope of Italian cuisine." Suwon said.
Yuuhime and Ryoko couldn't help but worry and complain, and some students who still couldn't understand Liu Subaru's sneer laughed quietly...
Tiramisu?As a classic Italian dessert, countless categories have already been developed. The more this kind of food, the more difficult it is to "not be limited to Italian cuisine"!
You can go beyond the category of "Tiramisu" without slightly changing the materials!
But this time Erina didn't worry about this, because there was absolutely no such "ghost" tiramisu before in the world.
I saw Suwon use a knife and fork to cut a small piece of "Liu's Tiramisu" with no expression on her face. The softness caused her knife and fork to have a slight meal...
Traditional tiramisu is a pastry with a coffee and alcohol flavor, similar to lasagna. It is said that in the 17th century, the wife of an Italian soldier who was about to rush to the battlefield, before her husband left, All the dry food, biscuits, and bread in the family are pressed into cakes, which means "take me away"...
Later, it gradually developed into a kind of dessert with mascarpone cheese and sponge cake as the main ingredients, adding cocoa powder, coffee beans, etc. as flavorings that entrusted people's good feelings.
However, Liu Subaru's group did not seem to have used a cake oven before, and now the "Liu's Tiramisu" is not as soft as cake or mille-cake.
Suwon was slightly puzzled, but there was no expression on his face, so he put a piece of "Tiramisu" into his mouth...
After a two-second pause, Suwon, who had been expressionless, suddenly had a flat mouth, a reddish color, and watery eyes. It even made a whimper that only Pleiades Liu and Erina could hear. The little milk cat's voice was pitiful.
Immediately he picked up the white wine on hand, but his face turned even redder after a sip, he looked at Pleiades Liu and Erina for help, then gritted his teeth, and took another bite of tiramisu, which looked suspicious, and then his face turned pale. Even more pitiful!
Seeing Suwon's face flushed, his eyes were covered with mist, Liu Subaru had a feeling of bullying the "girl" from the inside out, and the other students had already opened their mouths in shock...
