OK... It's Thursday -- where's the ingredients

alvarorb · 11-02-06, 07:43 PM

The moment has arrived to reveal the secret ingredient. We are about 24 hours away from the event. We can't ask for better weather here at pole 6. Desertdude had the music going right before the sun went down.
Let's get to business. Participants have 90 minutes to come up with 2 savory and one dessert. They will be judged in two categories. Taste and originality. Make sure your two savory dishes are different from each other. Originality plays a role here. 10 points max for each category per dish. The team with the total highest score wins. Judges decisions are final.There are 7 teams. Submit your $20 entry fee tomorrow before the event.

Good luck and remember only one team is good enough to be called Sand Chef 06.

PabloVTA · 11-02-06, 08:14 PM

and the special ingredient is?

drum roll......

Alvaro forgot to mention the secret ingredient is:

RICE

snailwagon · 11-02-06, 08:18 PM

PabloVTA · 11-02-06, 08:22 PM

no doubt...

Yeah, kinda obvious when you think about our cruisers origin.

alvarorb · 11-02-06, 08:40 PM

And the secret ingredient is.... Rice.
Any kind. Wild, basmati, white, brown, any rice is valid.

May the best team win

mickey_rubicon · 11-03-06, 12:53 AM

I will bring some pottery brownies to enter the chief competshion

yep · 11-03-06, 10:55 AM

The local authorities will love 'em.

snailwagon · 11-06-06, 01:22 PM

Next year, I'll make enough food for myself. I didn't even get to eat more than a couple bites of a competitor's ahi. At least I had beer.

Cruiserdrew · 11-06-06, 01:29 PM

Snailwagon-which team were you and what did you make? All the food was great and as I said in another thread, being a judge was the best job in camp. I tried to write down each dish and who made it-but not everyone did and it got confusing. Thanks for competing and feeding the judges and hangers on. Your efforts were not unappreciated. Great job!!!

alvarorb · 11-06-06, 02:39 PM

I want to thank all of the teams and judges in this event. I'd never imagined such levels of professionalism and gadgetry could be possible on the beach. I got to taste some of the entries and they were fantastic. Great job everyone.
Next year I'm sitting down at the table with the judges.

Here is the score table:

1.- Gallivanting Gourmands: 281
2.- Tapablo: 256
3.- Team TUT: 250
4.- 3rd Member: 247
5.- Yopo 4x4: 239

I've gotten several requests for recipes. Could the team members share what they did with the forum?

Regards

Alvaro

PD: I've got a couple of ideas going in my head for next year.

Maybe Flaming Mushrooms eh?!

PabloVTA · 11-06-06, 03:02 PM

So here's our line up from the Surf N Turf first annual Sand Chef competition:

Team Tapablo consisted of Kevin Saul, Joanna and Paul Murphy all from Ventura Ca.

We arrived Friday morning at 10 am and set up camp south east of the fire pit.
Ran into town, grabbed a bunch of fixins and came back to finish camp set up.
Since we found out the night before that rice was the special ingredient, even after the multiple proof readings and initial posting, we desperately started looking for recipies since none of us cook rice often, or ever while camping.

Our first savory dish was an Ode to the event title, Surf n Turf.

We made two sushi rolls in soy paper, the SURF roll had Pepper seared Ahi tuna and a spicy sauce with Avocado, and cucumber, the other was the TURF roll which had top sirloin, green pepper, carrot and a drizzled Honey BBQ sauce over the top.

(We had to hijack a local sushi bar for the soy paper, they weren't even open technically, but Umi Sushi is getting our business next time were in town!)

Our second dish was Risi e Bisi, or a risotto like cheesy rice and organic peas.
We started with sauteed Shallots and Cheddar-Wurst sausages, then added a bunch of rice, peas and then tons of cheese(five different kinds) and chicken broth and a few spices.
Micky Rubicon called it the "Bears Defense of the 70's for your liver" we made so much we fed a group of onlookers from Tahoe and a few others as well.

We had an extra savory dish, which wasn't judged that was a Tomato and brown rice dish that was to be served cold. It got better the colder it got.

Our dessert was Sake infused organic Melon and Plum slices with a poundcake wedge.
We also had a second dessert which was a take on an egg roll. ( sticking with the Japanese theme of the origin of our trucks)

It started with Phyllo dough and had a coconut milk arborio rice spread thin, then chunks of Mango then Kevin rolled it. That got fryed in oil and when it puffed up and got all golden brown he took it out and sprin
