Methods and Directions

Tea smoked fish
  • Marinade the fish in a mixing bowl with the tea, salt, ginger, olive oil, and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Line the inside surface of a large wok, completely with heavy foil.
  • Mix together the tea, lime leaves, brown sugar and rice.
  • Place the mixture on the bottom of the wok.
  • Place a metal rack over.
  • Place the fish on the rack and cover the pan tightly.
  • Place in the  preheated oven for about 12 minutes, remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes before opening and serving.
Tea and ginger crumb
  • Combine all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Allow the butter in the mixture to cool a little bit before serving.
Potato fondants
  • Cut the top and bottom off each potato so they stand flat; from here you can shape and size the potato as you wish.
  • Reserve all the potato cut-offs for a sauce.
  • Par-cook the potatoes until just tender in a large saucepan with boiling water, a little salt and the rosemary sprig.
  • Heat the butter in a wide non-stick frying pan and place the potatoes flat side down into the pan.
  • Cook on medium heat until golden brown and turn to achieve the same colour.
Sauce vierge
  • Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ran Watte beurre noisette
  • Gently melt the butter, orange juice and tea over low heat.
  • Allow the butter to separate and remove once it begins to change colour.
  • Strain the mixture to remove any tea leaves.
