Degustation Dinner, Another Way to Use up Leftovers - May 2016
Have your own degustation dinner…seven courses of very small meals, slowly served with good dinner conversation.
Course 1: Soup in a ramekin, 3 small croutons. serve with ramekin on a larger plate with the 3 croutons.
Course 2: Chopped up left over roast, 2 spoonful’s of chopped meat with a teaspoon of homemade pickle.
Course 3: Mini salad, slither of cucumber, tomato, capsicum. Small sprinkle of nuts on corner of place and smear salad dressing across the plate.
Course 4: Slivers of sliced chicken breast, fresh chives, herbs and a sprinkle of bacon bits smear a different homemade chutney across place.
Course 5: Mini frittatas/savoury pancakes. Use any leftover veggie, a bit of onion and fry up small teaspoon lots. place 3 little ones staked on each plate and zigzag sauce over the plate.
Course 6: Dessert - use patty papers for tbl spoon of ice cream. smear a choc sauce in circles around the plate. tin of pears, thinly sliced. and placed on the choc sauce. Sprinkle either coconut, or choc sprinkles or whatever you have.
Course 7: One Jatz cracker with a dollop of cheese spread (yes homemade) and a smear of pickle. Place the cracker on a side plate with a square of fudge/chocolate and a shot glass with iced mint (ice, water, mint leaf, sugar blended) to cleanse the palate.
Dad acts as drink waiter so mix up various 'wines' for kid in jugs beforehand. eg ginger cordial with meats. raspberry drink with sweets, iced water with lemon, pear juice from the tin pears with ice blocks etc. dad can have a white towel and serve drinks thru the night as the meal goes along. great fun, kid felt very adult.
Organize a child for hot face washes, wet, roll up, place on plate and microwave. carefully can get hot. use these to wipe hands etc.
This is a delicious least expensive meal with lot of class and teaches the kids how to act in a restaurant.
