When we woke up this morning, we feared the amount of food that we would be consuming on this cold Sunday: two events in one day… A delicious French lunch at Paulo&Clem’s followed by an Eastern Mediterranean feast at Jad’s house (see separate posting)
Amani started the day by baking a dark chocolate and walnut brownie to take to Jad’s house. The house was filled with warmth and an amazing smell came from the kitchen… Whilst sipping my coffee and painting my nails I realized that this was just the beginning of a day packed with flavors and food indulgences … With the brigadeiros made from the night before, we were ready to start our Sunday food journey…
By the time we arrived at Paulo’s, everyone was starving … We started with a light and fluffy courgette quiche topped with smoked salmon and served with home made mayonnaise. It was so good I had seconds (even knowing that I was probably on plate 1 out of 12 ).
The main course was then served, a hot pot of beef bourguignon served with green beans and 2 types of mash, one being the traditional potato mash and the other was pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
We had plenty of red wine throughout the meal, then came dessert: a 3 course meal on its own with a beautiful plate of chocolate mousse, fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream and Tarte Tatin. Then to add to Clem’s plate, the brigadeiros were also served with it!
Everything was delicious, even Leo went crazy for the chocolate mousse!
Big thanks to Clem and Paul...
And off to Jad’s….
