Menu Ideas for New Year
Want to cook up something delicious, but easy to make for your New Year celebrations? Try these ideas
Salmon, new potatoes, fresh asparagus and hollandais sauce
A decadent chocolate tart and vanilla bean ice-cream.
The recipe for salmon in my cookbook has a marinade of lemon zest, olives and rosemary. Give it a try.
Try making the homemade vanilla ice-cream from my blog. Or serve the vanilla, caramel and white chocolate cupcakes with good coffee for pudding.
My other favourite is fillet steak. Wash the fillet in vinegar. Pat dry and coat with wholegrain mustard. Heat a frying pan or griddle pan until hot. Brown the fillet on both sides. Cook at 180C for 1-1 1/2 hours depending on the size of the fillet, and how you like it cooked. Serve with a potato bake made by slicing potatoes into an oven dish. Cover with half milk and half cream. Bake at the bottom of the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until the potatoes are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid. Serve with a delicious salad and mushrooms fried in butter, or make a white sauce (see my blog) and add white wine, a dash of cream and mushrooms.
For dessert, make chocolate cupcakes with Lindor balls in the centre and a decadent chocolate icing. Alternatively try the chocolate pecan nut cake or cheese cake recipes on my blog. Both are delicious with homemade vanilla ice-cream. The secret to good vanilla ice-cream in the flavouring and using a thick double cream. I recently bought some vanilla extract with beans from Mauritius. Our ice-cream has been delicious this festive season. Madagascan vanilla extract is also highly recommended.
