Spring 2023 OTMOM Recipes
Directions:
Using a vegetable peeler, cut the zest from one of the oranges in wide strips and then into matchstick
strips. Put the zest in a medium saucepan with the water and sugar. Simmer until the zest is translucent
and tender and the liquid is reduced to approximately 2/3 cup (about 25 minutes). Strain out the zest,
reserving both the syrup and the zest.
Squeeze 3/4 cup juice from the oranges, or use best-quality orange juice, strain into the syrup, and
chill in the refrigerator. Core each half of the pineapple by making a diagonal cut on one side of the core
with a long serrated knife. Make a diagonal cut on the other side of the core, forming a V. Remove the
core. Turn the halves over and cut the pineapple crosswise into 1/8-inch slices. Arrange the slices on four
plates in concentric circles.
Pour the orange syrup over the pineapple slices. Put a scoop of sorbet on top of the pineapple and the candied zest over the sorbet. Garnish with the mint.
Directions
With a meat pounder, pound the meat between 2 sheets of plastic wrap until you have wide, thin strips.
In a shallow bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar and sake; stir to dissolve the sugar.
Stir in the remaining ingredients. Add the meat and turn to coat with the marinade. Set aside to
marinate for 1 hour, turning the meat from time to time.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sake and sugar; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the Asian
pear, scallions, onion and sesame seeds.
Light a grill. When the fire is hot, arrange the meat on the grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or
until nicely browned.
Transfer the meat to a platter and arrange the romaine leaves alongside.
To eat, wrap a piece of meat in a lettuce leaf, dip the bundle in the Asian pear sauce and pop it into your
mouth.
