Recipe: Chef Paula DaSilva’s Seared Tuna with Bacon, Smoked Potato Salad and Duck Egg

For fine dining aficionados, what goes on behind a top restaurant’s kitchen doors is usually a mystery. However, Chef Paula DaSilva — executive chef at Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach’s 1500° and runner-up on last year’s season of cooking reality show Hell’s Kitchen — not only invites you in, she also walks you through a recipe for her seared tuna with herbs, bacon, smoked potato salad and duck egg.

Not one to let fame get to her head, DaSilva still works the kitchen six days a week, and this recipe exhibits the farm-to-table practice she employs at her restaurant: fresh, high-end ingredients presented in an elevated manner.  Luckily for us, DaSilva’s tutorial is straightforward so even the amateur cook will have an impressive end result.

Warning: do not watch video tutorial on an empty stomach (you’ve been warned!).
