Pacific Saury

 The second saury dish inspired by Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai's

 battle with  Challenger Kazumi Nagayama

                   Saury Carpaccio with Persimmon Sauce

                    Chef Sakai mixed sesame seed and udo with kidney

                    beans and peanut butter. He blended a sauce made

                  from dried persimmons, wine, consommé, and soy

                 sauce. Foie gras was put on top of the fish and the

                 kidney bean and peanut butter mixture was put on

                       top of the foie gras. The persimmon sauce was spread

around the fish on the plate.                    

Whiting and Rice with Apricot Sauce

About all I had time to do was find out what persimmon is; a fruit

similar to apricot. Well heck, I just happened to have a can of apricots

stuck back in the pantry. I took two apricots, or four halves, and

tossed them into the blender. I put a piece of whiting on some rice,

put a lemon slice and cilantro on top, and spooned on my apricot

sauce. I completely missed the kidney beans and peanut butter.

This dish actually tasted great though, with the lemon and cilantro.
