Culinary adventures
Apr. 5th, 2009 09:04 pmAfter watching 
Mike's tele efforts this morning, I found myself motivated to try something different for dinner tonight. But what to make?
I considered my options over a cup of coffee... of course, coffee!
The coffee sauce was pure experimentation, but it turned out to be divine! A shot or two of espresso, a few teaspoons of quince paste, raspberry vinegar, some peppercorns, warm water to mix and a good swig of veggie stock. Simmer to reduce and let the flavours mellow and thicken with a little arrowroot. It worked remarkably well with the gamey flavour of the roo.
The creamy, garlicky cabbage was totally inspired byMike's creamed kale. Butter, cracked pepper, salt and a little cream, combined with what may be the world's best garlic. Local, fresh, organic and utterly divine. Yum!
There were no left-overs tonight.
Also, there's snow up on the mountain.
