scallops, chicken wings, peanut caramel and compressed melon

seared scallops, fried chicken, peanut caramel

              and compressed melon.

• 6 Atlantic sea scallops
• 4 chicken mid-wings
• 1/4 a honey dew melon
• handful of peanuts roasted
• 4 discs of palm sugar
• lime
• fish sauce
• duck fat

So, this is a recipe off our new menu at work its something I came up with so I'm sharing it with ya'll.

first off, duck fat. Melt that shit down enough to be able to cover your chicken wings in an over durable tray. 

next put yr wings into the tray and pour in the duck fat, cover it with baking paper and tin foil, sealed all tight. don't slack.

put dem wings into the oven @ about 170 degrees Celsius for about and hour....

now that's cranking bust yr palm sugar on to yr board and smash it up using a kitchen steel. then throw it in a pot with a couple table spoons of water then cook to a caramel. over a low heat.

when it reaches a caramel consistency add lime juice and fish sauce to taste.

when that's cool yu can just go ahead and throw in some peanuts to finish it.

now we move to the melon, cut yr melon into small cubes about 1cm squared and put into a vac bag and compress at 45 in a vacuum packer. if yu don't have a vacuum packer then yr melon just wont taste as good, tough shit really.

assuming an hour has passed pull out te' wings and drain off the duck fat, don't throw it away yu can totes use it again.

while the wings are still warm I like to gently pull the bones out, thus making it a boneless wing. but not essential albeit pretty fucking cool.

so bust out yr scallops and the wings its fry time. heat up a couple pans (2) one for scallops ones for wings. the first pan to get hot is gonna be for the wings. second for scallops. (kinda goes without saying, but i have worked with some fuck wits). with a little butter and salt throw the wings into the pan to colour, when the next pans hot salt the scallops and put in pan with canola oil.

then wings brown pull em out and when scallops brown turn off pan and flip scallops, leave for 30 seconds then pull them out.

now yr ready to eat..... in the pic I posted on here it has a lemon fluid gel and celeriac puree, but yu don't need that shit, it was just filler for the photo.

plate it how yu want, but make sure the caramel goes on the wings.

enjoy etc etc
