HAWAIIAN KANPACHI POISSON CRU

Part: Loin

 

“My husband and I recently honeymooned in Tahiti. It probably was the happiest time of my life, and I wanted to celebrate that unforgettable experience with this dish. I grew up in Hawaii and was greatly influenced by Tahitian culture and food, but never visited until recently. I’m combining the influences of both places with this special dish for you.” - Chef Kiki Aranita

INGREDIENTS:

 

  • 2 oz Hawaiian Kanpachi
  • White sweet potato, steamed with skin on (if it’s not too thick! Or else peel them), 100g
  • Coconut milk, 100g
  • Grapefruit hibiscus kombucha vinegar (or any light, mild and effervescent vinegar – lighter than apple cider vinegar) – I’m using Baba’s Acid Trip, 35g
  • Optional: 1g Maui Lavender Ponzu
  • Hawaiian red clay (alaea) sea salt to taste
  • Garnish: Gamtae seaweed strands
  • Garnish: Sea grapes, 1-2 strands per portion
  • Perilla Oil to finish
  • Chili Peppah Water to taste

Slice Hawaiian Kanpachi sashimi-style to about 1 cm thickness. Combine all ingredients (except for garnish ingredients) in Vitamix and blend until very smooth. Spread coconut milk mixture on plate and lay sashimi slices over it. Finish with a few drops of perilla oil, decorate with sea grapes and gamtae and use Chili Peppah Water to taste.
