Harmonylia's Thoughts

I stole this idea from “Top Chef” contestant Richard Blais and twisted it a bit to fit me.

It’s so light and tasty, I just scarfed down all of it.

O.O I'm amazed by this. So, you just peel the jicama, and voila-tacos?! Is it that simple? What do the tacos taste like? Sweet? Crunchy or soft?

LOL hippie chick, me too! I'm deadly with a mandolin, actually jackiev, I used my regular slicing knife and squared the bottom a bit then sliced. They are thicker than they look, but they are so flexible. I really liked not having to dehydrate because lately it's been run run run around here and I was hungry. I also liked that the filling is easy to throw together as well and so very flexible.

JACKIEV - I would use a mandolin. I have a small Japanese handheld one that is really great, although it doesn't julienne. I must add, however that I almost ended up in the emergency room after using it once...very sharp.

Im not sure if he was raw, but it was a quick fire challenge where they were required to come up with a fresh new idea for tacos, and voila, this is somewhat close to what he had with a few changes. I think a raw top chef would rock!

Im totally with you omshanti. I ADORE jicama. The first time I had it I was like, what's this Gi-Ca-Ma stuff. It's fabulously versatile. I'm going to try making samosas with it tomorrow hee hee hee!!!!
