Slow Food USA

Monday, April 20, 2009

I'm the Membership Coordinator and Secretary of my local Slow Food convivium/chapter. All damn day, I've been working on the invitations for our next dinner to be held at the end of May ...all day because I couldn't find where I had saved the file. Our wine guy hasn't selected the wines yet...so this isn't complete. My amigo, Chef Bobby Griffing, is preparing the meal. It's a French Springtime menu.


Here is the 5 course menu:

1st Course

Chilled Spring English Pea Soup with Shaved Black Truffle and Crème Fraiche



2nd Course

Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Grilled Sea Scallop with Silky Celeriac Puree, Sexy Apple Glaze and Micro Celery



3rd Course

Turbot with Roasted Fingerling Potato, Haricots Verts and Bacon



4th Course

Duck Confit with White Bean Cassoulet



Dessert

Chocolate Crème Brulee with Seasonal Fruit


Bobby...comment on how you make the sexy apple glaze...it's so good!!
