  • Fillet Steak with Slow-Cooked Tomatoes, Salsa Verde Watercress
    Fillet steak with slow-cooked tomatoes, salsa Verde watercress The fillet is probably the nicest and most expensive cut of beef. It’s very lean and tender due to the short fibres in the meat. Salsa verde not only contains lots of vitamins, it also bursts with freshness from the herbs and savoury anchovies. With the slow-cooked tomatoes and watercress salad, this is a recipe that will have you looking forward to steak night. Remember to stick to no more than 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar per sitting. Ingredients-serves 4 . 4 x 100g fillet steaks For the slow-cooked tomatoes: . 520g/4 vine-ripened tomatoes or 16 . cherry tomatoes . 2 sprigs of fresh thyme . splash of balsamic vinegar . splash of olive oil . pinch of caster sugar . salt and freshly ground black pepper For the salsa verde: . 2 tsp white wine vinegar . 4–5 fresh basil sprigs, leaves only . handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley . 6g/2 tinned anchovy fillets, drained and finely chopped . 3 tsp capers . 100ml garlic-infused olive oil For the watercress salad: . 100g watercress . 4 tbsp olive oil . 1 tsp white wine vinegar . 1 tsp Dijon mustard . pinch of salt Method Preheat the oven to 120°C. To prepare the slow-cooked tomatoes, combine the thyme, vinegar, oil, sugar and seasoning and dip the tomatoes (still on the vine) into the mix, coating them completely. Place on a baking tray and gently roast them in the oven for 15–20 minutes. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat until it’s smoking hot, then brush with olive oil.

  • Evaluation of Food Waste Prevention Measures— the Use of Fish Products in the Food Service Sector
    sustainability Article Evaluation of Food Waste Prevention Measures— The Use of Fish Products in the Food Service Sector Yanne Goossens * , Thomas G. Schmidt and Manuela Kuntscher Thünen Institute of Rural Studies, Bundesallee 64, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany; [email protected] (T.G.S.); [email protected] (M.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 July 2020; Accepted: 11 August 2020; Published: 15 August 2020 Abstract: This study presents two food waste prevention measures focusing on the interface between the food service sector and its food suppliers. Through a case study on procuring salmon by a hotel kitchen, the use of food products with different convenience grades is examined. The convenience grade of the fish bought (whole salmon, fillets or portions) determines where along the food chain filleting and/or portioning takes place and thus where food waste from cut-offs occurs. To reduce food waste, we propose purchasing filleted or portioned salmon rather than whole salmon. For both measures, effectiveness is calculated by looking at food waste reductions along the food chain, achieved by a better use of filleting and portioning cut-offs. Next, sustainability across the environmental, economic and social dimension is evaluated by calculating (a) avoided embodied environmental impacts and economic costs, (b) avoided food waste disposal environmental impacts and economic costs and (c) environmental, economic and social impacts and costs associated with implementing the measures. Purchasing fillets or portions instead of whole salmon leads to food waste reductions of 89% and 94%, respectively. The interventions further lead to net climate change impact savings − − along the salmon chain of 16% (fillets) and 18% (portions).

The steamed product produced by one of the methods for processing kabayaki was evaluated, and it was found that the ribs were hardly softened, and the sensation of foreign bodies in the mouth due to bones was clearly felt. However, the sensory evaluation of the retort products showed that there was no bone-related foreign body sensation, and the ribs of some products were so soft that they could not be detected. In oven-cooked products, the ribs were softened when the oven temperature was set to 140°C and 150°C but not at 130°C. Products manufactured in a 150°C oven were found to be overdry on the surface and burnt.
