Yesterday Shanna came over to teach me some knife skills. We learned about different dices and cuts. We practiced cutting by making a yummy salsa call called Pico de Gallo with tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapeno, corn, olive oil, salt and pepper. We made a tomato concasse, small diced the jalepeno and sweet red pepper.
Then we made a glazed salmon recipe from an America's Test Kitchen recipe. You can watch the episode to learn how to make it here.
It was great working with Shanna. The salmon was absolutely delicious. The jalapenos completely scared the wits out of me because I had a bad experience with a hot chili pepper. I had been tasting peppers at Mitten's house to see if they were hot. Of course the second pepper I tried was a chili pepper. I put the tip of it in my mouth and then immediately spat it out onto the ground. Then it got all over my face and then in my eye. It sucked a lot. I had to take a shower in milk. This time it was better. Chili peppers are hotter than jalapeno peppers.
