yams, zucchini, avocado, raw beets, cilantro (coriander to Aussies), ginger root, marshmallows, pineapple chunks, tinned fruit salad, tinned apricot, green onions, lentils, chicken, and cranberry sauce/jelly.
Well, Ramie and I found all that quite a challenge! We were cooking for 10, with a guest who can't eat gluten, and two guests who are vegan.
So my highly experimental dishes were:
- Baked chicken breast with chilled Cranberry Cilantro salsa (cilantro, cranberry jelly, grated ginger root, diced avocado, sliced green onion). This was voted my best dish.
- I was going to make a lentil salad, but the lentils were too well done and got turned into lentil hummus (added some garlic and pureed the lot)
- No-name Salad: baby spinach, roasted yam and zucchini, raw diced beets, green onion with a creamy poppyseed dressing (from Ramie's fridge :) )
- Tropical rice pudding (rice, cream, eggs, marshmallows, tinned fruit, cinnamon)
Our friend Thomas was taking pictures, so if I get some, I'll try and remember to post them up.
