wykikitoon 20165 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Made fennel & squash lasagna at the weekend. Was enjoyable to make it, albeit long winded as I made my own bechimel sauce with it. Was a tad dissapointed that it didnt have a stringer taste, but I didnt use as much fennel as I should of. Got it from River Cottage Veg Everyday.

Tooj 17 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Sounds rank tbh. I fucking hate fennel like. Isn't your lass a veggie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Sounds amazing mate, hope it all goes well. Will the sea bass not be a bit heavy before the lamb? Smallish portions? How are you putting that together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Single fillet of sea bass, small one, sitting on the samphire with a lemon and garlic oil dressing. Takes 6-8 minutes cooking at most. Slow cook the shanks for 3-3.5 hrs, reduce the cooking liquor right down and glaze the shanks with it. Lentils done in lamb stock with caramelised onions, diced carrot and celery, rosemary and garlic. Obviously this will be all ready in advance, and popped in the oven to warm while starters are being made and served. Cheating on the pudding, but ice cream is getting made tomorrow.

trophyshy 7083 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You really need a delicate cardamom sorbet between the starter and main course. And of course I hope your wine/port combo doesn't offend centuries of wine making tradition, let alone Chez. I've also heard lentils tend to cause cockrot.

For the sea bass, i'd go with a Chablis and for the lamb shanks a Bordeaux, something from Saint-Estephe if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Seriously though, cheers for the tip Chez. The friends that are coming went on a wine tasting day two weeks ago, so if I get the right wines it's 1000 Fisty points to me. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IImage not loading for me For special occasions, dont try and find cheap options. 15 quid a bottle isnt that much when you think about how much you spend on drinks on a night out or on wine in a restaurant. Obviously you cant spend that all the time but for birthdays etc i always think you should push the boat out a little. Nae point slaving over a hot stove and then serving it with cans of carling.
