The sixth day of our raw food diet is also the last one. Kobe Beef Steak Tartare served with a shaved raw asparagus salad with Manchego cheese. The salad was inspired on a salad we had at Bar La Grassa last summer that was out of this world. Large, raw asparagus are shaved on a mandolin on the long end. Then they are tossed with a fresh dressing (in our case made with some home-made tarragon mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon salt and pepper.) To that we added some julienne Peppadew peppers and shaved Manchego cheese. It came out great.
The tartare was good, but the recipe I found resulted in too much orange zest, although the truffle oil was a nice touch.
All an all, the diet was an interesting experiment, but we found it to be very limiting. We are food people and can deal with the usual diet that reduces quantities of certain ingredients, but in this case, entire categories were eliminated. Our stove missed us too much. The big bad wolf is back!
