Five course meal

We just moved to the new house and I really wanted to make a special meal for me and my DH.  But what to make?  Here’s what we ended up with (minus the salad - it was on the menu, but we were too full to eat it)



Amuse Bouche: Frisee with crab.  Frisee and celery leaves mixed with olive oil and salt topped with crab meat.

Appetiser:      Prosciutto rolls with Aurgula and Figs.  Dried figs, goat cheese and arugula with marinade rolled in prosciutto. How can this be a bad thing?

Main Course:  Herb crusted Lamb with sauted baby veggies.  I also did a Mushroom Gravy, made from a homemade veal stock.


Salad:          Frisee salad with Warm Bacon Viniagrette

Dessert:        Cava gelatin with raspberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips



It was an ambitious menu, but I pulled it off and if I may, pulled it off well. :D Go me!!  Some days I think I could do this for real.
