PIECE de RESISTANCE

This is it .... with the gospel according to Donovan Cooke all over it. The showpiece, the best part of a meal, the ultimate Piece de Resistance! On the menu it simply says Warm Salad of Smoked Eel, but it has to be one of the tastiest that I have tasted from the maestro's kitchen. This dish is the end result of simple, top quality ingredients, prepared simply to the highest standards, nothing more.

Smoked Eel / Hand Picked Frisee / Smoked Bacon Bits / Garlic Croutons plus 2 other 'killer' items t0 bring the salad to dizzying heights at the palate pleaser charts. (1) a slowed cooked 60C free range runny egg and (2) a dressing made from smoked bacon fat, egg yolk, Dijon & Pommery mustard, sherry vinegar, prepared like a home made bacon flavored mayonnaise. To garnish, a pinch of Black Rock Salt Flakes. Yes, you can do this at home and once you did, you will never look back. I had this baby for lunch, and I can still taste it hours later!
