Dinner Party Menu
We had a little dinner party last night and although I prefer my food a little hotter (the trouble with being the cook) I think the food was right on target! The guests were happy—the goal!
If you would like any recipes just ask—lol!
The Menu
Passed appetizers included:
- Jarlsberg & Cambozola with crackers
- DL Pate with orange marmalade
- Fresh Mozz rolled with prosciutto and basil on seasoned croutons—warmed in the oven and drizzled with balsamic and olive oil.
- Jumbo lump crab meat on endive leaves with a dill mayo.
- Assorted California roll sushi with wasabi and ginger
The main event included:
- Sweet potatoes roasted with a modest cinnamon sugar, brown sugar, butter and seasoned just right.
- Baked stuffed mushrooms with, garlic, onions, diced mortadella, cheese, and bread crumbs—my grandfathers recipe.
- Green beans sautéed with garlic and onions.
- Beef Wellington iChef-twist—roasted filet of beef sliced and placed between puff pastry, garnished with a duxelle and pate and served with a cognac demi-glace with mushrooms.
- Mixed salad greens with carrots, mango, green apples and a balsamic vinaigrette.
- Wine and dessert brought by our guests were perfect!
The company was great! The wine was great! Yeah, the food was great too!
