STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 ROUND 03 : Apples Carpaccio and Salad with Greek Yogurt!

Hello my dearest friends of Steemit!

After getting so many compliments from foodies around from my 2 first participantion in Steemit Iron Chef Round 01 and Round 02, here I am with my entry for the 3rd Round!

For this week, @progressivechef asked the participants to work on APPLE and make the best out of this healthy and yummy fruit...

Check out what I did, hope you like it!

Apples Carpaccio and Salad with Greek Yogurt

---

Ingredients I used to make this dish

• Green and Red Apples
• Brown Sugar
• Cinnamon Stick
• Cardamom
• Greek Yogurt
• Cherry in Syrup
• Watercress and Fresh Mint

---

From these basic ingredients, I built up my dish and I can assure you it was such a refreshing plate!

Everyone who tasted it was overwhelmed!

So I made a syrup with the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and water. I let it boil and kept aside.

---

Then I took off the apple core and proceeded in making some fine slices of both red and green apples as you can see below!

---

---

Next I put the syrup to boil again and added the thin slices of apples and let cook for a minute until softened!

---

---

In the meantime, I made a salad with the small pieces of apples that were left over while slicing.

I simply added some Greek Yogurt, finely cut cherries, apples brunoise and mint leaves.

---

Plating

This is the most important part when cooking!

We need to make the dish look amazing when presenting to our guest.

So I cut the cooked apples in half and started placing them on my plate...a red slice then a green one!

Until I made the round of the plate.

---

This is how my plate looked like when I completed placing the apple carpaccio!

---

Next step was to put the apples salad in the middle and complete the plating with some final touch!

---

---

I used a small tweezer to carefully and delicately place the mint, water cress etc... to complete my dish!

---

And here we go with the final presentation!

I was quite satisfied with the end result, how do you find it friends!?

---

I served the apple carpaccio with the syrup on the side which we just have to pour on the carpaccio before eating!

BON APETIT MY FRIENDS!!!

So here we are with my entry and how I sublimated the product of the week, hope you like it.

I would like to thank everyone who are behind the scene making Steemit Iron Chef such a great contest, specially @progressivechef for his hard work and dedication in pushing for quality posts.

Looking forward to the 4th round and I will surely be present as this is one of the community I am feeling welcomed and valued.
