Birthday Menu (January 12, 2008)
APPYS
"World-famous" Caesar Salad
house-made foccacia croutons, grated Parmiggiano-Reggiano
Flank Steak Salad
basil-marinated bocconcini, campari tomatoes, baby spinach, balsamic vinaigrette
Peri-peri Chicken Wings
Peri-peri sauce
This is so good! You can put it on anything! =D
Prawns with Cumin Butter
MAINS
Roast Salmon with Almonds
Braised Chicken with Mushrooms & Cranberries
Not the greatest-looking dish, but very tasty.
(I guess braised items served in the braising liquid is never pretty.)
Cranberry sauce (for mushroom-braised chicken)
"Yogurt Cheese" (Strained yogurt, that is.)
Instead of sour cream; for mushroom-braised chicken
Pork Tenderloin with Salsa Verde
Pasta with 3 Ps: pesto, peas, Parmiggiano-Reggiano
SIDES
Boiled New Potatoes with Paprika Butter
This didn't turn out the way I imagined. The potatoes weren't the waxy kind!! =(
But, I still haven't given up on my boiled potatoes!
Hazelnut Oil Grilled Radicchio
Sautéed Kale with Golden Foccacia Bread Crumbs
Roasted Bell Peppers w/ couscous & feta
DESSERT
Gelato Log Cake
Haha, the "yule log" didn't really go with the birthday theme.
Aha!! That yule log is probably a left-over Christmas item from your gelato shop. Right??
ReplyDeleteActually, I made it for our New Year's menu, but there was so much food and so many desserts that we didn't get a chance to put it out. =)
