“Thinking about the turn of your tagging then making the foie gras would be done by Kaya and completing the sauce would be done by you.”
“Yes.”
“Kaya, have you ever made foie gras?”
“No. I haven’t even eaten it.”
“Minjon, what about you?”
“Me neither.”
Precisely speaking, he did eat it. But that was a canned food eaten by French residents. To say that he had eaten it was impudent.
Alan said lowly.
“Don’t think of foie gras as normal liver. A swan’s liver has more oil and has a deeper flavor than any animal’s. And you don’t have to take off it’s aroma, but rather, save it. Please remind this.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Alan moved away with Jo Minjoon’s reply. Kaya glanced at Alan and concentrated again on her dish. He wanted to tell something to that Kaya, but now was the time to be concentrating. Of course,she was only waiting for the sauce to boil down to say that she was concentrating.
“Kaya….”
The moment Jo Minjoon opened his mouth, the buzzer rang. Jo Minjoon and Kaya quickly shifted places. Jo Minjoon looked at the pan. The soup had boiled down quite a bit and bubbles were rising. Jo Minjoon asked.
“Kaya, this is half boiled down right?”
“Probably.”
“Okay.”
Jo Minjoon poured the bill stock, calf gravy in the pan. Then, he lowered the fire to the minimum and started to boil it. After that, he took out a new pan and fried the tomato paste. At that time, the buzzer rang again. While Jo Minjoon was backing he told her.
“When the tomato paste turns brown put it immediately in the sauce. Also do it for the spices and the tomatoes.”
“I already know.”
15 minutes had already passed. The given time was 60 minutes. They had to use the last 5 minutes to cook the foie gras. So they only had 40 minutes left to finish the sauce.
‘…….Will it be enough?’
He wasn’t confident. Foods that used the gravy like demi-glace sauce as a base, were all not so delicious. Even masters that had been working for tens of years had to use their own methods to produce their wanted flavor. It was difficult to boast about the quality of a recipe made in the moment at this place.
Of course, he did have the help of the system. And the recipe’s score was good. 7 points. It was quite an excellent score for a sauce that had to be made in 55 minutes. But if there was even a little bit of a mistake, then a completely different result would come out. He wasn’t in a situation where he could relax.
Jo Minjoon looked at Kaya. She was putting the tomato paste in the sauce and, putting pepper, thyme, and half sliced tomatoes in the gravy. This was to catch the displeasing smell of the gravy and at the same time save the aroma.
Now was really a fight with time. Kaya kept removing the foam that surged from the demi-glace sauce in the remaining time. And then, the buzzer rang. Only 40 minutes were left.
Jo Minjoon immediately turned on the fire for the pot that contained the white grapes and the vermouth. The time to complete the puré was around 30 minutes. He had to start right now so he could finish it in time.
‘Can’t they make us do a normal team mission?’
