Last Saturday, the 12th November Nat and I hosted our first proper dinner party. With my love for Tapas there was no doubt that that would be the theme of the evening. We planned a menu based around some of our favourite dishes, some of which were made into miniatures. We shopped for all the produce (bar the cream etc) at the Prahran Markets which are conveniently around the corner from us.
We began with marinading the fruit for the sangria, the desserts were setting in the fridge (which were made on Friday night) We then slowly cooked our way through the menu.
The Menu:
Main Course-
Salt and Pepper Squid with Lime Aioli
Fennel and Pork Meatballs in Napoli sauce with fresh Basil and Garlic Bread
Chorizo and Tzatziki on Crunchy Bread
Mini Basil Pesto Burgers with Relish, Cheese and Rocket
Tarts with Cherry Tomatoes, Caramelised Onion, Basil Pesto and Bocconcini
Chicken and Haloumi on toothpicks cooked in Honey and Thyme
Ham and Cheese Croquettes
Dessert:
Mini Tim Tam Cheese Cakes with Raspberries
*Nutties with Lemon Curd and Strawberry Coulis
Chocolate Mousse with Burnt Toffee with Orange Zest
It was tonnes of fun and will definitely be doing it again soon.
*Nutties are basically Anzac Biscuits, we put them into cupcake trays to mould them like cups.
It was yum! Where are the photos of each dish??
