Pepper Seared Guinea Fowl With New Potato Crepe Food

BANH XEO (VIETNAMESE CREPE)

Steps:

• Combine the mix with the curry powder and coconut cream in a bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to a hot pan. Ladle in 5 ounces batter to make a semi-thin crepe. Cook until crispy underneath and dried out on top. (If the crepe sticks to the pan, drizzle additional oil underneath it to get it to release.) Repeat with the remaining batter, using more oil as necessary.
• Add the cabbage, carrot, bean sprouts, chicken and shrimp to each crepe and fold in half.
• Garnish with the butter lettuce, cilantro, basil and mint. Dip in the Nuoc Cham Sauce.
• Mix together the granulated sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, sambal, garlic and 11 ounces water in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves.

DUCK BREAST WITH A SERRANO CHILI RASPBERRY- BLACKBERRY MARSALA SAUCE OVER A SCALLION CREPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Score the skin side of the duck in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut all the way into the flesh. Season with salt and pepper and place in a very hot non-stick pan, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes. Place in the oven for 15 minutes for medium rare 25 minutes for medium to well. Take out and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
• To prepare the sauce: In a hot saute pan add butter, chiles and red onion, and saute until onion is translucent. Add the berries, Marsala, and sugar, and let simmer for 5 minutes -until sauce begins to thicken.
• To plate: Slice duck, place on platter top with sauce and finish with a crepe on the side.
• Combine all ingredients except the butter. Whisk until blended, the consistency should that of heavy cream. Meanwhile, have a small non-stick omelet pan on medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add 3 ounces of the mixture and swirl around and cook for 1 minute per side. Repeat if more cakes are wanted.

CREME DE LA CREPE

Steps:

• Make the crepes: Combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, rum and salt in a blender; blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Set the batter aside, covered, 1 hour.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with butter. Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into the center, then quickly tilt and swirl the skillet to coat with the batter. Cook until the bottom of the crepe is golden brown and the top is set, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 30 more seconds. Invert onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 16 to 20 crepes, stacking them as you go; lightly brush the skillet with more butter as needed. Don't worry if a few crepes tear-they can be layered in the middle of your cake.
• Make the filling: Beat the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the confectioners' sugar in 2 batches until fluffy, then beat in the rum.
• Set aside the best crepe for the top layer. Put 1 crepe on a platter and top with about 1/4 cup filling, spreading it to the edge. Repeat, layering the remaining crepes and filling; top with the reserved crepe. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top crepe; brulee with a kitchen torch. Chill 15 minutes before serving.
