Made a lovely Sunday lunch the other day for some friends--a fragrant and delicious meal built primarily around the produce of our New England(Australia) garden, accompanied by tender and juicy New England lamb.
The raw ingredients first:
 |
| Eggplants(aubergines) green capsicums, herbs, lamb, tomatoes and garlic for the ailoli crumbs(for the lamb) |
 |
| Field mushrooms picked that morning in our paddock(there's been lots of rain, so we are enjoying good mushrooms!) |
 |
| The full meal--grilled lamb(which had been marinated in lemon, garlic and rosemary first) with sauteed Kipfler potatoes, capsicum and tomato stew, fried aubergines with crouton crust, tomato salad with special dressing(below) and green salad. All vegs and herbs from our garden! |
 |
Tomato and basil salad with a dressing made from a little olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a little pomegranate molasses
Entree(not illustrated as forgot to take the photos!) was very nice wild game pate(bought) served with fresh field mushrooms, lightly sauteed, with tarragon(our own produce!), and mushroom and spinach pesto(bought). Dessert(also not illustrated) was a fruit salad of our own produce: plums, melon and blackberries, served with a quince and rosewater icecream of my own confection! The whole washed down with a very nice Riesling.
