It's been awhile since I last had anyone over for dinner, reasons for some serious cooking and so the eve of our 10th anniversary, I've invited my chef friends over to celebrate. I have actually decided on a rather simple menu after having discussed with my friends and so the starters would be prepared by my friends as they are the specialists in Chinese and I would take care of the rest...
The table set with my usual style...
Pan fried fresh foie gras with onion jam and balsamic reduction, served with seedless grapes.
Braised boneless leg of lamb with herbs and chardonnay. The leg of lamb was marinated with freshly made herb paste of garlic, parsley and basil. Then, the seared leg of lamb is braised with the entire bottle of chardonnay, bay leaves, 2 heads of garlic and sea salt. Served with mash potatoes and the cooking jus. The pink topping is pickled radish.
Salad of 4 tomatoes with basil puree, sea salt and olive oil - plus a sprinkle of microgreens (italian parsley) and a cut of brie.
Dessert was a strawberry tart and infusion.
