You will require a good butcher for this roast. Place a wedge of lime on the glass and some micro basil Using an ice cream scoop, place one scoop per glass
The spoons were a vintage set from Thailand with a wooden handle and brassy coloured metal spoon. I used vintage champagne glasses with a gold pattern around the rim, these were placed on a set of three graduated plates. Return to the container, cover and freeze until ready to use. Remove from the freezer and place in the blender for a second time until very smooth. Pour the mixture into a container deep enough to allow you you to use an ice cream scoopĮnsure the container is completely covered to avoid icing, then place in the fridge for 2 hours. Place some edible flowers around the plate as a final touchīring sugar and water to the boil in a small saucepan allow to boil 1 minute, then remove from heat.Ĭombine the above, lime juice and basil in a blender until they are a fine puree. Spoons the dressing lightly around the plate and add some of the dressing. Lightly dress each slice with the dressing and place the apple in its natural shape in the centre of a plate.Īrrange the apple in the centre of the plate in its natural shapeĪrrange the celery, walnuts and watercress around the apple and crumb the cheese. Keep the apples together to make them look as if they are whole again. When you are ready to serve remove the core with an apple corer, then use a mandoline to slice the apples into 2 - 3 ml thick slices.

Wash and peel the celery, cut into 5 cm long thin sticks, keep them in a zip lock bag in the fridge until needed. Roast the walnuts in a preheated oven at 180 C for 6 minutes cool completely Slowly add the two oils while slowly whisking the mayonnaise to form an emulsion, If the mayonnaise becomes thick half way through add the water and continue adding the oil while whisking. Have all the serving ware close at hand and ready to useįor the dressing, cream the egg yolk, mustard, cheese, lemon juice and salt and pepper until smooth Prepare the dressing for the Salat a day in advanceĮnsure the table is all set at least a day in advance Order the crown roast a month in advance and ask your butcher to age the meat Some of these ingredients will not be available at your local supermarket, specifically edible flowers and micro herbs, find suppliers well in advance I also asked different guests to assist with plating the various courses and this was invaluable help. While the recipes were not difficult it did require a good plan to ensure the meals hit the table on time.
The menu also took into account what can be achieved in a normal domestic kitchen and served while entertaining guests, recipes are for 8 guests. For this Medieval Dinner Party we did a lot of research on medieval banquets and the meals consumed by the wealthy in the middle ages, we then applied a modern overlay to transform some potentially unpalatable options to modern times.
