When the apricots came into fruition, out came the wooden hand cranked ice cream maker complete with the rock salt, watery mess but so much fun.. Apricot ice cream with a hard shot of lemon juice, zest interfused into the mixture gave a nice bite to the apricot ice cream. <br /><br />Used to go to a little british hole in the wall restaurant that had a fresh strawberry smothered in whipped cream dessert topped upon freshly baked cinnamon/sugar dusted biscuits. Food and service was terrible but the dessert made up for the suffering prior to dessert. They had a policy that one could not just order the "dessert" at lunch time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-47054402813770752722011-07-18T16:54:20.546-04:002011-07-18T16:54:20.546-04:00No, needs to be charcoal grill.No, needs to be charcoal grill.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-48915288224454315092011-07-18T16:46:32.319-04:002011-07-18T16:46:32.319-04:00Yes, it would get dry, that's why the real smo...Yes, it would get dry, that's why the real smoked salmon is cold smoked.

Just enough to coat? Something like an olive oil with low acidity that will "take the heat?" I've done fennel on the BBQ like this and it caramelizes beautifully and tastes sweet. (Granted, I don't slice it that thin.) I don't recall it being tough. Anyhow, just a (humble) thought. Love the cooking technique for the fish!!!
