Guest guest Posted September 8, 2002 Report Share Posted September 8, 2002 and there is THE durian website www.durianpalace.com and here are some gourmet durian recipes Durian Recipes Compiled by Rozalind A. Gruben H.L.C., A.H.S.I., R.S.A. © Rozalind A Gruben Being a sweet fatty fruit Durian combines with other sweet fruits and is acceptable when eaten with sub-acid fruits. The combination of Durian with acid fruits is not recommended. Lettuce or celery may also be eaten along with Durian and offer a pleasant contrast in texture. Durian Straight Take your durian to a local park or forest and eat it standing against a tree. As you take in the beautiful simplicity of nature let the delightful simplicity of your meal connect you to your earth mother. Durian on the Rocks De-seed a durian and place it in a Tupperware container Climb to the top of a beautiful mountain Sit on a rock and feast on your well-earned durian meal Durian Milk Blend durian flesh with water Durian Cream Blend durian flesh with less water Durian Ice Cream If starting with frozen durian ? Open the durian just before it has fully defrosted and enjoy the chilly thrill straight from the pod If starting with fresh durian ? Remove the seeds, and place the flesh segments in the freezer until they reach a consistency of ice cream chunks Frozen durian flesh may also be passed through a champion juicer with the blank plate in place for a really creamy ice cream treat For variety any sweet or sub-acid fruit may be frozen along with it and combined as it is passed through the champion. Bananas make an excellent addition. If you do not have a champion juicer, a food processor with the S blade attached will work well Durian Sticks 1) Cut celery sticks into 2-inch lengths 2) Stuff the celery " troughs " with durian 3) Serve as finger food Double-Sweet Durian Rolls 1) Blend durian flesh with Medjhool dates (one date per " pillow " of durian) 2) Drain off any excess juice (and drink it) 3) Place a dollop of the mixture on a romaine lettuce leaf 4) Roll up the leaf with the mixture inside Raspberry Custard Pie 1)Combine fresh raspberries and dates in a food processor using the S blade until the mixture resembles dough 2) Line a pie dish with the " dough " by pressing it in firmly with your hand 3) Blend durian flesh until smooth 4) Stir whole fresh raspberries into the smooth durian flesh 5) Pour the raspberry durian custard into the pie 6) Decorate with whole raspberries Durango Sunrise and Sunset This delightful pair of dishes pleases mango lovers and durian devils alike!
