Last Saturday night brought my second to last tablenosh dinner in Sydney! I was a bit slower to finalize this menu but the recipes finally came together on the day. The theme should have been 'S' because that seemed to be the common thread. It was a family-style meal which worked really well and meant lots of great interaction around the table.
The Aperitif: Strawberry Mint Cocktail
Starters: Spicy Prawn Balls w/Coriander Dipping Sauce
Stuffed Mushrooms with Ricotta, Pesto & Pinenuts
Salads:
Mango, Avocado, Tomato & Feta w/ Cos Lettuce & Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
Baby Spinach w/ Caramelized Walnuts, Roasted Capsicum, Goats Cheese & Crispy Proscuitto
Main: Baked Whole Snapper w/ Garlic & Herbs
Baked Whole Snapper w/ Cherry Tomatoes, Lemon & Chives
Garlic, Chili & Coriander Prawns
Grilled Corn & Avocado Salsa
Crispy Roasted Potatoes
Pan-fried Asparagus
Desserts: Strawberry & Rhubarb Crumble
Chocolate Truffle Cake
Vanilla Bean Mascarpone Custard
I was quite pleased with the fish considering it was only my second time ever really cooking a whole fish, I think the guests were happy too! They were whole snapper and I basically just stuffed them with different herbs and lemons and some garlic, very simple and easy. The men at the table did a great job of figuring out how to cut them up, since I had no idea.
We finished off the evening with tea and coffee and then a splash of dessert wine. It really was another great tablenosh dinner, I can hardly believe the year will be coming to close soon with my big finale in November.
