Iron Chef 1

Being food network junkies, my roommate and I had talked for ages about doing an Iron Chef battle. Dividing the kitchen, having friends bring over the secret ingredients, and doing battle the best we could.
Not only was it a blast, we surprised ourselves on how good we did in 90 minutes.

Secret Ingredients:
Cherries, Mint, Pork Loin, bay scallops, Polenta, Heirloom tomatoes, chives.

My dishes:
- Crostini w/ goat cheese, cherries marinated in balsamic, heirloom tomato, and a sliver of mint to top.
- Heirloom tomato stuffed with polenta & parmesean cheese
- Roast pork loin, stuffed with cherries, mint, chives & shallots. With a cherry, cabernet reduction to top.
- Cherry Polenta crostini topped with goat cheese.
- Deep fried heirloom tomatoes, topped with a bacon wrapped scallop.
