Dinner party



Invited friends over for dinner, family with 3 very hungry and happy to taste everything kids, they are so cute.
I see what to harvest from my garden and happy to be able to make 5 veg dishes (all from the garden except carrot)




1.Boiled fresh pea
2.Quick stir fried mangetout served with chive flower
3.Steamed new potato, with olive oil, salt and fresh coriander
4.Steamed artichoke, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, semi-dried cherry tomatoes from last year, and fresh basil
5.Daikon pickled for a day in miso sauce, with carrot

Kids unanimously picked fresh pea as their number 1 favourite, with new potato and mangeout as second.

On the meat side, there is grilled cow tongue, hanger steak beef satay, BBQ pork and lamb chop with rosemary.







To speed up cooking time on bbq and take the stress out to make sure food is properly cooked to the middle, i precooked cow tongue and pork shoulders, in their seasonings, at 65˚C for 2 hours.

BBQ pork marinate  : miso, soy sauce, brown sugar, wine, 5 spices powder, red yeast rice ferment. After low temperature cooking, reduce marinate into a thick sauce, adding honey to round up the flavour. 

Dessert is sticky toffee pudding, with vannila ice cream, finally the kids admit that they are full.
