Since we have been doing the Sunday Tastings at Silverlake Wine for the last couple of years, we have made some wonderful friends, one of which planned a Surprise Birthday for her husband and asked us to do the food. Regrettably we had another catering scheduled and thus, couldn’t be present during the bash so we coordinated a drop off for the occasion.
Food in hand, I waited around the corner until the coast was clear and then once signaled, I scurried in with the goods, set them up on a communal table, or placed them in a low oven and the fridge respectively, and then bolted the heck outta there before I blew any covers. I hear the party and the surprise of it was a huge success, and we are so, so sorry that we had to miss it. Here was the menu:
CROSTINI BAR
Parmesean Flatbreads with Lentil Pate and Candied Baby Beet Puree
ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD
Roasted Tri Color Brocolli Flower with Wild Rocket Arugula, Purple Basil, and Sweet & Sour Tomato Vinegrette
