Made dinner for my absolutely FAV dining companion last night. Usually dinners with Mikey consist of him treating me to a fabulously expensively extravagant dinner, in return I provide incredible conversation... But last night I thought I'd switch it up a bit. I looooove to cook so I decided to take it upon myself!
On the menu:
Lindemans Bin 65 (not my favorite of wines, but tolerable)
Caprese Salad
Sea Bass on a bed of sliced fingerling potatoes, capers and black olives, seasoned with olive oil and fresh thyme leaves
Blanched asparagus with olive oil and lemon
This meal encompassed two firsts:
1. First time making sea bass
2. First time blanching anything (in this case I blanched the asparagus)
SUCCESS! Although, I think I may have opened the oven one too many times the fish was cooked to perfection. And the asparagus ended up perrrrrfecto this is because they didn't continue cooking after I took them out of the water hot water, yay!
Another fabulous dinner with my future ex-husband!Note:
A special thank you goes out to one of my most used cookbooks, River Cafe Cook Book Easy, where the recipes have very few ingredients but taste ABFAB!
