Time to prepare some good food for Marion and me again. And to make up for the last weekends I decided to make something special.
As starter I made a beef carpaccio. On the beef some rucola, Parmesan cheese and pine nuts. Over it a dressing made of olive oil, vinegar, mustard, pesto, honey and pepper.
As main course hare fillet, medium baked. Just some pepper and salt after baking it for some minutes on a high temperature. The stew that I served with it I made earlier today. A good stew needs a long time to get really tasteful. The stew was based on beef, but because it would be served with hare, the beef was in small pieces cut. The mashed potatoes where also complete home-made and mixed with a little parsley. And of course some short fried oyster mushrooms!
As wine I served Château La Grave 2006, this is a wine that goes very good with many kinds of game.
As desert some nice cheese. There were three different cheeses: Munster Marikel, Roche Baron and Camembert Rustique. To this a glass of a very enjoyable cognac “Camus Ile de Ré”.
This is very nice way to end a dinner. Chatting while enjoying this cognac and cheese. We sat so almost for an hour together. I love this.
Even if I say myself so, this dinner was very tasteful. And yet, it was not very hard to make. The stew and mashed potatoes needed their time. The rest was rather fast ready. As Miranda always says, the preparations are half of the work.
Now leaning back and watching a nice movie together…
reading your blog always makes me hungry. It always looks so tasty……..
