With just 2 weeks until Christmas we met at The Roman Table here in town to cook up some holiday tapas. A fun and easy way to enjoy the holiday together. The start of the evening consisted of baguette toasts with a pomegranate goat cheese spread served along with with marinated olives and artichokes... we had a nice selection of Prosecco!
Cynthia ran through the menu for the evening and explained we could be as involved in preparing as we like... or simply just enjoy what was served. It's hard to say but I do believe most of us 'enjoyed' more than 'doing'.... but hey - Merry Christmas to us!
Our chefs helping prepare the smokey chicken wrapped in bacon. I found a similar recipe that refers to the chicken as Sweet & Spicy...
We enjoyed asparagus wrapped with red pepper strips and green onions, leek with new potato salad, coconut lime shrimp. The shrimp was flavored with coconut balsamic vinegar and lime EVOO - a quick easy appetizer. The potatoes were fabulous as well... tiny potatoes sautéed with leeks and finished off with a kiss of truffle oil.
I'm not generally a fan of seasoned salt but this Seasonello was fabulous... we had it on potatoes and it was delish.
We had the whole gang together plus Angi's daughter Katie joined us for an evening of some yummy food and good cheer with friends. Merry Christmas cooking club friends!
