j ENTREES

Directions for the Skirt Steak Preheat the grill to high. Rub the skirt steak with the olive oil. Sprinkle the skirt steak on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

SKIRT.STEAK

WITH.TRUFFLE.OIL

&PARMESAN.FRIES Skirt Steak with Truffle Oil & Parmesan Fries Serves 2 Ingredients 1½ pounds skirt steak 1 tablespoon olive oil Sea salt and cracked black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 2 large organic potatoes 2 Tbsp olive oil ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese 1-2 tablespoons truffle oil

Transfer the steak to the grill and sear on one side for about 3 minutes depending on the thickness. Flip the steak over and repeat on the other side. Transfer the steak to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for a few minutes. Finish by garnishing with fresh rosemary. Directions for the Truffle Oil & Parmesan Fries Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice into small strips. They can be as thin or thick as you like; just keep their size as consistent as possible and bake longer if your pieces are thicker. To prevent the fries from sticking together when they bake, soak them in a bowl of cold water for at least ten minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper or cloth towels. Toss the sliced potatoes with the olive oil, and sea salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through. Place the french fries on a large platter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Drizzle the truffle oil over the fries and finish by garnishing with fresh rosemary. 14

Directions Coarsely crush the biscuits. Mix them with sugar and melted butter/oil. Use a 22 cm (8 inch) spring-form cake pan. Fasten a piece of parchment paper between the ring and then bottom of the spring form. Use your hands to firmly press the crust out in the pan until it covers the whole bottom. Place it in the freezer. Start by soaking gelatine in cold water. In a bowl combine skyr, sugar, vanilla and mix it well together. Remove the gelatine from the water and transfer into a little pot on low heat and stir until dissolved, let it rest until slightly cooled. Mix the lukewarm gelatine with a little of the skyr and Âafterwards mix it into all of the skyr in the bowl. This little extra step will make sure that the gelatine does not shock and make small gelly clumps. Whip the heavy cream in to a light and fluffy foam and gently fold it into the skyr mix.
