I’m having the family around for a Xmas Eve Barbecue. The menu is looking like this:
Grazing Platter
- Boursin style cheese (Made myself!)
- Kirima (A camembert style cheese)
- Kikorangi (Gorgonzola, by another name)
- Muscat raisins
- Dried mango
- Dried cranberries
- Cherries (Gorgeous, gorgeous red cherries. They commanded to be bought)
- Macadamias
- Cashews
- Crackers
- Baguettes
Then, for the main event..
Manuka smoked salmon (Cured with citrus)
Grilled mixed vegetables (Red onion, capsicum, broccoli)
Asparagus
Mushrooms with garlic oil
Rocket/Walnuts/Pear salad, with White truffle oil dressing
And for dessert..
Pavolva (It’s an Australasian thing. Like a cake sized meringue, with a marshmallowy center)
Orange blossom cream anglaise
Nectarine jelly
Brandy snap-style biscuits (Maybe.. depends if I run out of time..)
Photos will surely be taken as it all comes together, and will be posted tomorrow some time, most likely!
