2012 passed more than a week ago and seems like cooking a big meal to celebrate the passing is fast becoming a "tradition" chez moi. So happened that my friend from France came a calling and so, here is it - pix of the last meal of 2012...
the table set...
First course: gratin of grilled vegetables (brinjal, capsicum, zuchini, potato). The sliced vegetables are first grilled with a glaze of garlic oil and later gratinées in the oven laced with homemade tomato sauce. Served with shavings of Parmigiano reggiano cheese.
Main course: Stuffed boneless goose on a puree of Romanesco cauliflower, sauteed mushrooms, cooking jus. My chef friend graciously deboned the goose for me, which helped a lot in terms of preparations. The stuffing is made from minced pork, breadcrumbs soaked in milk, chopped dried fruits soaked in liqueur (fig, apricot and raisins), chopped and sauteed Swiss brown mushroom and onion, and a touch of rosemary and Juniper berries.
Dessert was simple: chocolate mousse topped with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of confectionner's sugar.
