Re: What's for dinner?
I bought myself a Lebanese cook book over Christmas so tonight my partner and I will eat Baba Ganoush followed by snapper marinated in pomegranate molasses and olive oil with lemon and lime rice with cardamon, split chick peas and mustard seeds and tomato and coriander sauce with roasted flaked almonds and a bottle of a very decent Portuguese red given to me by a wine dealer here in London. If that all fails it's fish and chips!

Don't know, I'm waiting for my Dad to have a cataract done so it might be a raid on the chippy depending on how long it takes!

Crêpes jambon-gruyère here, with home-made frites and a big-nosed Burgundy, some of which is marinating the beef for a Bourguignon at the weekend!

Re: What's for dinner?
Thanks Steve. It turned out rather better than expected. Your Bourguignon sounds damned good. I do love a hearty slow cooked stew with wine or ale especially on a wintery day. Back down to earth tonight with cheese (a stringy comte) on sourdough toast and a small glass of red left over from yesterday.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Sounds wonderful!Leo David wrote:...Lebanese cook book...Baba Ganoush...![]()

Re: What's for dinner?
Have you tried Chateau Musar? It's a Lebanese red with tobacco overtones........first tried it at a tasting menu at Cameron House and have ordered it occasionally since. The smokiness goes well with some spicy dishes, and even offsets tart fruits.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Sounds wonderful!Leo David wrote:...Lebanese cook book...Baba Ganoush...![]()
