 ==== Limburg sushi ====
-In the Continue scenario we talk about ruthless borrowing and re-localising world cuisines. Sushi is one such dish, that has been integrated around the globe, using different ingredients that suit the palates of the locals. For Limburg, where the exhibition is held, we chose potatoes and asparagus (in our case out of season, which still suited the scenario).
+In the Continue scenario there is much ruthless borrowing and re-localising world cuisines. Sushi is one such dish, that has been integrated around the globe, using ingredients suited to the palate of the locals. For Limburg, where the Future Fictions exhibition is held, we chose potatoes and asparagus. Asparagus is a vegetable endemic to the region, but it is out of season in October so the asparagus we used was actually imported from Peru, which perfectly suited the scenario.

-Potato puree: Boil potatoes in the skin. Once soft, let cool enough so you don't burn your fingers, then peel the skin off. Mash potatoes with salt, butter and/or olive oil until they become relatively smooth. It's ok to have some small chunks that aren't completely mashed. Let cool and reserve in the fridge.
+== Preparation ==
+Potato puree: Boil potatoes in the skin. Test their softness with a fork. The fork should pierce the potatoes easily, but they shouldn't fall apart. Take off the heat, drain the water and let cool just enough so you don't burn your fingers when you hold the potato for a few seconds. Peel the skin off using your fingers. Mash potatoes with salt, butter and/or olive oil until the mash becomes relatively smooth. It's not a problem to have some small chunks that aren't completely mashed. Let the mash cool completely.
+Asparagus: Peel asparagus (if needed) and blanch for a few minutes until the stalks soften but are still bright green and firm. Take out of the pan using a slotted spoon an place the asparagus in ice water for a few minutes to halt the cooking process (this will preserve the bright green colour). In the mean time make the marinade: juice half a lemon, add soy sauce and olive oil, stir to combine. We used a smoked olive oil, that we smoked a few weeks earlier using the [[http://www.polyscienceculinary.com/the-smoking-gun.php|Smoking Gun]], but this is not absolutely necessary. A good quality extra virgin olive oil can be used as well. Brush the asparagus with the marinade and reserve in the fridge until needed.
