RECIPE DEVELOPMENT

1 — YAKIPINCHO MEATBALL
Ration the balls into 40g portions.

With wet hands, insert the mixture onto the skewer to form an oval shape.
The meat must be fully adhered to the bamboo skewer.
Put in the fridge until use.


2 — TARE SAUCE
Roast the chicken bones and the fresh onion in the oven at 220°C for 20 minutes or until well roasted but not burnt.
Put the sake and mirin in a pot and bring to a boil.
When it starts to boil, set it alight with a blowtorch to burn the alcohol.
Lower the heat to a minimum until the flame has disappeared.
Add the sugar to the pot and dissolve.
Add roasted chicken bones, roasted fresh onion and chopped ginger.
Leave to cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
Once 30 minutes have passed, add the soy sauce and allow to cook over low heat for another 15 minutes.
Then, remove from heat and allow to cool.
Strain the mixture reserving the resulting sauce.

 

3 — MEAT FOR YAKITORI MEATBALLS
Mix all ingredients and store in the fridge until cold, 30-40 minutes approximately and until use.


4 — POACHED ONION
Put the oil in a pot, brown the onion lightly and add the salt to help it sweat.
Cook over low heat until the onion is well cooked.
Set aside.


FINISHING & SERVING INSTRUCTIONS
Roast in the “robata” and slowly turn the meatball on all sides for 2 to 3 minutes.
Test the meatball until it is firm, if not continue cooking, turning constantly.
Dip the meatball in the “tare” sauce, return to the “robata” and turn until golden and 90 per cent cooked.
Once they have a nice golden colour, dip the meatballs back into the tare and put a little lemon zest on top to finish.

Krug Grande Cuvée
170ème Édition

The texture and harmony of Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition is perfect for the citric touch that the lemon gives to the yakipincho and also mixes wonderfully with its dressings in an explosion of flavours on the palate.
