From the Kitchen of: Diamond Head Grill

Warm Potato Salad

2 c. red bliss potatoes with skin, diced
1/4 c. sour cream
2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbs. chives, minced
salt & pepper, to taste

Dice potatoes into 1/4" squares and boil in water until done. Strain and place on plate in refrigerator to cool. When cool, toss in a bowl with remaining ingredients until thoroughly mixed. When ready to serve, microwave potato salad until warm and place slightly off-center of plate.

Braised Baby Romaine

2 head baby romaine
2 Tbs. unsalted butter
salt & pepper, to taste

Slice lettuce along the cross section into 1/4" wide strips. Add butter into warm sauté pan and cook lettuce, stirring until it begins to wilt. Remove from heat. Put on a plate line with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. When ready to serve, place a mound of braised lettuce next to the warm potato salad on the plate.

Succotash

2 c. fresh Kahuku corn, removed from cob
1/4 c. roasted red bell pepper, diced small
1/2 c. edamame or lima beans
1/4 c. red onions, finely diced
3 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbs. fresh thyme, chopped
2 Tbs unsalted butter
salt & pepper, to taste

Melt butter in sauté pan and add all remaining ingredients. Stir until hot. Place 1/4 of mixture in between braised lettuce and potato salad on plate.

Onaga

1/2 to 2 lbs. onaga with skin
2 oz. peanut oil
salt & pepper, to taste

When fish is still on one side, rub skin with a clean towel from the head to the tail to remove excess moisture from skin. Cut fish into 4 equal pieces. Season on both sides to your preference. Add oil to a hot pan. Over medium heat, cook fish with skin-side down first until skin turns golden brown and crispy. Turn fish over and cook to desired level of doneness. Place fish leaning against other ingredients on plate so you can see each of the ingredients.

Buerre Blanc Sauce

1 oz. truffle oil
1 c. chardonnay
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig parsley
juice of 1/2 lemon
5 pcs. whole black peppercorns
1 stick (1/4 lb.) unsalted butter, diced into 1/4" cubes
salt & pepper, to taste

Place all ingredients except truffle oil, salt & butter into a small sauce pot. Simmer and reduce until the liquid reaches a syrup-like consistency. Lower heat to low and start adding in cubes of butter. Wisk until cube is completely incorporated into sauce before adding another. Gradually the sauce will develop a smooth creamy consistency. When all the butter is incorporated, remove from heat and season sauce to your preference. Pour 1/4 of sauce around ingredients on each plate and drizzle sauce with truffle oil.
