hell of a meal

Amazing dinner tonight. Inspired totally by my new cooking environment: new oven, microwave, cooktop, and sink. How could that not be inspiring, right? Sooo, here’s what I did. Sashimi-grade tuna, marinated in a mix of soy sauce, wasabi mustard, and fresh lime juice. Seared in a hot pan so that the tuna is crusty on the outside and raw on the inside. sliced fairly thin and arrayed on a bed of sauted leeks and shallots. Additionally, I roast some broccolini lightly doused in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with freshly ground pepper. Lastly, I do some sweet potato slices enhanced with olive oil, curry powder, cumin, paprika, and ground pepper and roasted to a crisp perfection. These three parts of the dinner have absolutely nothing to do with one another. No harmony here at all, no scheme, no theme. except that each part is delicious and each is what I want to eat. think of it as italian-indian-japanese fusion if you're looking for a label. No rules here, after all. Be governed only by what you want. They call that hedonism, don’t they?
