Avocado Moose

The second course of Saturday night's dinner was a play on "mousse" . . . a faux avocado mousse topped with sous vide cooked moose. The avocado component was a "faux" mousse because real mousse is an egg-based dish and there's no egg in this dish. Instead, it's just avocado pureed with some lemon juice, champagne vinegar, salt and pepper. The moose was hunted by my brother-in-law in Alaska. It was a top round steak, which is a cut that's generally a little tough and often cooked awhile. I threw caution to the wind and cooked it sous vide style for 30 minutes at 150°F. Why? I don't know. It was an experiment, but it turned out well. I took this photo the day after and the meat had turned a bit gray overnight, but it was nice and pink when served. Also on the plate is some balsamic vinegar and the plate is topped with fresh, grated horseradish. I was batting two for two going into the third course. And the wine was flowing!






Im so happy you are enjoying the moose...we made a goat chili tonight-yummy.
