I recently served Pickled Wasabi Greens and Pickled Wasabi Petioles, both being Traditional Style, on an antipasto platter ...after encouraging my guests to try the Wasabi, they were pleasantly surprised, and impressed! They expected the Wasabi to be hot, instead they were delighted by the mild tasty pickle with a difference, which became the talking point of the platter.
Later I served a selection of my home made ice-creams, to finish the dinner. The outstanding favourite was the Wasabi and Lime. I used around two teaspoons of Wasabi Leaf Powder, along with the finely grated rind of a lime in that particular batch. I will definitely be making wasabi ice-cream again!
