I've been a bit of a gym rat since.....I had hair. So the savory granola has always been a favorite. :-) 100 hour Oxtail in a savory granola (celery root, onions, parsnips, shallots, oats, pistachios, dried cherries and dates) - inspired by Alinea. Topped with a warm port and bordeaux beef fluid gel (straight from the pouch :-)..). Served with a horseradish celery root and pistachio shake (warm vegetable foam) and raspberry pickled beets. The labels were fun and the pouches for the warm gel worked well though an edge sealer would be easier. For the foam/shake, it was a nice "milkshake" texture and I have some other ideas for straws (but may need to buy a power drill). I need LOTS of practice for the wrapper (though I suck at wrapping Xmas gifts too) or a stock power bar wrapper for serving.
The oxtail (one of my favorite cuts) and savory granola is simply delicious....the raspberry vinegar works so nicely with the beets (and is so easy to make)..
