Wasabi.
What are you thoughts? Like it, hate it, never tried it?
Most people think of the green stuff that comes on the side of sushi when they think wasabi. And to be honest, thats what I think of too. I hadn’t really used it any place else before. But one of the challenges I set for myself this year is to try new things, things that I normally wouldn’t use. Get out of my comfort zone!
Well, I have to admit that my mom helped usher me into the wasabi world. While my parents were here for Christmas my mom put her Le Cordon Bleu culinary skills to work and made this amazing Ribeye dinner and served the Ribeye with two amazing sauces. To be honest the Ribeye by itself was good enough, but I’m a sauce girl so I couldn’t resist.
The first sauce was a warm Chimichurri sauce … good … but not wow your socks off. The second sauce was a wow your socks off sauce. It was a Wasabi Cream sauce, it has caramelized shallots, garlic, butter, paprika, cognac, wasabi, and cream. Ya’ll I literally just poured this sauce all over my plate, no shame!
But having this sauce made me realize you can easily tame down the “heat” of wasabi, it’s actually pretty comparable to the taste of horseradish sauce and people use that alot. So why not wasabi? Well, today we are diving head in!
We are seasoning up some Yukon potatoes (skin on of course), chopping them into wedges, baking them until they are crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside then serving them along side this Avocado Wasabi Aioli dipping sauce. Yup, I know. Sounds amazing and it is! Sprinkle with a little fresh cilantro for garnish and you have yourself a side dish people won’t be able to stop eating!
I served these fries along side Pulled Pork Siders, but they could easily be an appetizer for your Superbowl party this weekend! Top them with some chopped steak, chicken, or shredded pork and turn them into nachos!
It doesn’t matter how you serve them. JUST MAKE THEM!
