Chateaubriand with a Clarified Colbert Sauce, Lobster Mashed Potatoes, Sauteed Eggplant and Asparagus.

March 31, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Chateaubriand in the same style as this (click) but the sauce is clarified, I didn’t like the color the first time around so I fixed it.  I seasoned the steak this time with Himalayan pink salt. The sauce was finished with a white truffle oil. The lobster mashed potatoes are a monster. Potatoes mashed, then a lobster stock is folded in with butter and heavy cream with a touch of Himalayan pink salt…..hit it with an immersion blender, wanted them […]

Pan Seared Albacore with Bell Pepper and Eggplant Cous Cous

March 29, 2010 by ericriveracooks

I seared the eggplant then through it in the oven to finish. Crispy edges on top, nice and soft on the […]

Seared Eggplant With Whole Shrimp in a Mango Pineapple Sauce

May 25, 2009 by ericriveracooks

(Click each picture to make it larger) I made this on the last day I was in Puerto Rico along with a few other things. My mom told me she liked eggplant so I thought I would show her how I do that whole eggplant thing. I’ve seared it before (click for recipe) but I changed the ingredients around to make it work for a nice tropical meal. Ingredients: 2 small eggplants peeled and sliced an inch thick 1/2 cup […]
