Shabbat food
Jun. 23rd, 2002 07:27 pmI am really pleased with that new wasabi ginger sauce. I marinated a turkey leg in it, then roasted it with onions, garlic, some shavings of ginger, and it turned out wonderfully, reasonably spicy, which I balanced with roasted slices of potato and sweet potato (roasted with sea salt and freshly-ground multi-colored pepper). I ate far too much...
I'd also made some food for Shabbat lunch at friends'. She used the greens I'd brought and added a bleu cheese dressing, something I haven't had in years... I'd also steamed green beans, and she dressed those with salt, pepper, sesame oil, and ume plum vinegar. (There was also pesto pasta, and many spreads for bread).
I also made fruit salad, with strawberries, blueberries, fresh pineapple, and some mango. I'm thinking of pureeing what's left with some plain yogurt and some form of sugar, perhaps honey or maple syrup. And made some lemon-lime-ade, with a lemon, its zest, 3 limes, 2 kinds of mint leaves, lemon balm leaves, sugar, some water. I like it, though someone else thought it too tart. Perhaps this is again showing how I'm getting my mother's food preferences over time...
