This is our third installment inspired by the work of Lernert & Sander. The visual artists have many works and installations in various parts of the world, but the one that intrigued us the most is their experiment of cutting everyday raw ingredients into perfect cubes. The result, as you can see, is very striking and enigmatic. There are even ingredients that are difficult to distinguish in that form, and we invite you to guess which is which.
One way to innovate in the kitchen is through shape and texture. Beyond finding new flavors and combinations, thinking of another way to see and eat ingredients we already know adds value to modern gastronomy. That's why today, inspired by the work of
Lernert & Sander, we present our third selection of ingredients from their installation called Cubes: Tuna, pork, chicken, beef, and salmon.
As you can see, this time we have chosen only animal proteins, so we recommend recipes to use these cubed ingredients in your own home.
You don't have to do much, a
tuna tartare in cubes is very simple to make, and even using them for a deconstructed sushi with other cubes of rice and wasabi can be very fun for a dinner with your friends. If you prefer to cook them, you can sear the cubes in a pan and add them to a bit of salad, a familiar flavor in an unprecedented presentation.
It's likely that none of us have seen pork in cubes, but this doesn't limit you from making delicious
tacos al pastor, just more fun and original. Another idea is to take the pork, grill it, and combine it with syrup-soaked pineapple cubes to play with the classic dish of pork chops with pineapple.
Perhaps chicken is one of the ingredients that doesn't seem so strange to see in cubes. This is how we sometimes consume it, although not in such a perfect form. You can use it for delicious cubic fajitas with rice, tortillas, and beans, or even as the protein in a tasty
alfredo pasta with chicken. Or more easily, a nutritious grilled chicken salad is also an option.
Scrambled eggs with salmon are a typical brunch dish, but imagine the added touch you'll give when the salmon appears in perfectly cubed pieces. You can also use this fish with a bit of capers and hollandaise sauce, another classic combination prepared in a different way. If that doesn't convince you, a simple bagel with salmon and cream cheese is always a winner.
Just like tuna, a
tartare of beef can be an interesting alternative when we think of beef cubes. Of course, why not also consider a beef fondue since we have the meat cut just to the size of small bites. Another idea that might convince you is a ciabatta sandwich with cubes of flank steak accompanied by rich sauce, avocado, and cream.
