First up: mushrooms. The longer you let it pickle, however, the more the texture will deteriorate. The first course was this absolutely stunning Beef Tataki with Pickled Mushrooms.
And yes, it tasted as good as it looks. Every course was generously paired with a pickle-based drink. With a large grin on his face, Geoffrey Zakarian proudly told us at the beginning of the workshop that they kind of went overboard in a very good way when creating the cocktail pairings. And boy was he right. Every one was thoughtfully crafted to pair with the food and incorporate the pickling flavor. It was unbelievably good. You immediately tasted the fragrant apples, and then were hit with this pleasantly balanced vinegar taste… a perfect Autumn drink.
I cannot wait to make this at home. You can check out the exact recipe here. Next up: baby carrots and turnips. Chef Corsentino cut them both in half lengthwise and then half again, making 4 long quarters. In a small saucepan, he heated 1 cup of Melfor French vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, some spices he suggested black peppercorn, mustard seed, and fennel seeds and bring to a boil.
Pour the liquid over the vegetables and let cool. Store for days before serving. The glaze of sweet soy sauce, chili, ginger, and lime was dynamite, and the fresh crunch and sweet-sour flavor of the pickled vegetables really cut through the fattiness of the wings.
This was the drink pairing that Chef Zakarian was most excited about: out came bottles of Blue Moon beer and shots of Jameson Whiskey and Pickleback. The beer was for those not brave enough to drink the Jameson and Pickleback. People were skeptical at first about this shot and chaser, but once we all saw the enthusiasm with which Chefs Zakarian and Corsentino consumed their Jameson followed by the Pickleback, we followed suit.
The Pickleback was simply some of the leftover pickle solution along with a splash of citrus juice in this case, the Japanese fruit Yuzu. It was phenomenal. The pickleback was a surprisingly perfect counterpart to the Jameson. For the final course, it was time to pickle some pear. Chef Corsentino explained that you should buy slightly underripe pears.
They need to be hearty to stand up to the pickling process. Ripe pears will simply turn to mush. To make pickled pears, simply cut up the pears into equal sized slices.
Then, bring to a boil 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, a splash of Cintron vinegar, 1 tablespoon Yuzu juice, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and some whole spices Allspice, Star Anise, a Cinnamon Stick, and an Indian Long Pepper. Pour the boiling liquid over the sliced pears, cover and let cool. Again, let them sit for a day or two before using.
Pickling is not a science, so it is fun to play around with different flavors. Yuzu is a citrus, so you could easily substitute a different citrus juice. The moist, slightly salty duck confit played perfectly with the pickled pear and pomegranate. And the vinaigrette, oh the vinaigrette, was phenomenal. And it was paired with this delicious Fifty Pounds Gin Pickled Pear Martini , made with gin, vermouth, and some of the pickling liquid from the pears.
Taking the last bites of the final course, I was quite stunned by the over-the-top quality of the food and its pairings. Everything was spot on, unbelievably delicious. I had the opportunity to ask him two questions:. He still gets to cook everyday in some capacity, whether it be at home for his family or stopping into the restaurants. However, when he is in his restaurants, it is more in a leadership capacity as he sits down with his Executive Chefs and plans through different dishes.
