Salad shaped as a golden Dragon capsule landing at the ISS, with warm potato and a golden egg.
A warm salad shaped like the SpaceX Dragon capsule docking at the ISS: an oval of golden roasted potato wedges, a golden egg as the capsule tip, and arugula orbiting like Earth's path. Perfect for this record-breaking flight.
Ingredients
- 800 g small waxy potatoes
- 4 eggs
- 100 g arugula
- 100 g green asparagus tips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, shaved
- salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Wash the potatoes and cut into wedges. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the potato wedges in an oval shape on a baking tray (the capsule base) and roast for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 7 minutes, cool under cold water, and peel.
- Blanch the asparagus tips for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
- Make a dressing with mustard, white wine vinegar, honey, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
- On each plate, place an oval of potato wedges. Add a halved egg at the top as the capsule tip.
- Arrange the asparagus tips as small 'arms' on the sides of the capsule.
- Make a ring of arugula around the potato capsule, as an orbit around Earth.
- Drizzle with dressing and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
Serving notes
- Serve immediately so the potatoes are still warm.
- Sprinkle the cheese just before serving for a golden shine.
- Let guests guess which record object is on their plate.
