Bollito Ssams – More Adventures with Bollito Misto, Part 3

January 20, 2010
By jc

If you have been following our bollito misto narrative, then here is a modern, cross cultural method to revive frozen bollito meat. We take our cue here from the great land of Korea, originators of the Ssam, popularized by Momofuku Ssam Bar in New York.

Essentially, a Ssam is a lettuce wrap. As we said at the beginning, bollito meat, essentially boiled meat, is kind of boring unto itself. However, here we take our defrosted bollito meat, slice it, add a variety of condiments to make the ultimate reconstituted lettuce wrap. We use kimchi, and watercress to liven up the taste of boiled meat, and surround it with boston lettuce to make a great paleo-snack, lunch or dinner. Fast and tasty!

Recipe: Bollito Misto Ssams

Ingredients

    1/2 pound of defrosted bollito meat, whatever you have left, pork, beef, chicken or veal, sliced thin
    1/2 cup chicken, beef or veal stock
    Salt and pepper to taste

    1 head of boston lettuce
    1 bunch of watercress, washed and dryed
    1 daikon radish, peeled and sliced into thin half moons
    Kim-chi
    Oyster Flavored sauce to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the head of lettuce in half and remove the core. Peel apart the leaves, wash and dry the leaves in a colander.
  2. Heat stock in a skillet until it begins to simmer. Add the slices of bollito meat to stock. Reduce the stock to a thin syrup, then remove from heat. Place bollito slices and sauce on a serving platter.
  3. Place the lettuce leaves, watercress, daikon and kim-chi on a separate serving tray.
  4. Form lettuce wraps by placing some warmed meat in a lettuce leave. Top with daikon slices, watercress, kim-chi and oyster sauce if desired. Consume.
