Doing a mock black box culinary exam.kinda hit a road block?
Does anybody have decent ideas to produce 3 courses with the following ingredients: Whole Trout (must be used an entree ) , Quinoa, Fennel, Double Smoked Bacon, Jalapeño. Appy, Main, Desert must be produced all within a 3 hour time constraint. Trout is raw and whole and must be processed. Any ingredient found in our culinary institute may be used, along with strawberries, oyster mushroom, cranberries, sun dried tomatoes, Pine nuts, papaya, butternut squash, fresh pears, orzo, fontina cheese, chorizo, calamata olives.
Any ideas?
Edit to add.. maybe I wasn’t as clear as i needed to be.. the bacon, fennel, trout, quinoa, jalapeño need to be spread out over the 3 courses.. but at least one of them has to be in each course.
