To start:
Deep Fried Tuna Ravioli with Sauce Vierge, Citrus, Dill |
They do look like UFO's sitting on the plate and one could say that the combination of deep fried tuna filled ravioli, sauce vierge and citrus a trifle "out of this world" but within in the first bite, it all came together.
More surprising was that the tuna filling was barely cooked even with deep frying - the pastry was very flaky, the combination of sauce and assorted citrus (orange, grapefruit) played well with the tuna and the fragrant touch of dill, added a mild aniseed note.
For mains:
Lamb Galette, Pommes Mousseline, Cassoulet, Roasted Chicken Jus |
The lamb has been slowly cooked at 120°C, the fat drained and the meat shredded and compacted to form a galette - it's then topped with a bread crust. The slice is served on (and with) pommes mousseline and "cassoulet" - in this case slow cooked black eyed peas in a rich tomato based sauce.
For dessert:
A Night at the Movies Bubblegum Icecream, Bubblegum Meringues, Chocolate ganache, raspberry jelly, salted caramel popcorn |

Those tuna raviolis look indeed like UFO and I think I would love them. The lamb looked perfect, but my favorite was the dessert, of course. I am such an ice cream addict that I could eat it in every possible combination and with that raspberry jelly and caramel popcorn seems like the perfect way to try it. You didn’t mention the total price for that menu. Thanks for sharing.
