Sunday In the Country: August Sunday August 7, 2011 - 3:30-7:30 PM $75/ person
Peaches and tomatoes might be the epitome of summer fruit (yes, tomato is - botanically - a fruit, but yes, I know generally considered a vegetable. Even the US Supreme Court decreed so more than a century ago). No matter, both of them are tasty in both savory and sweet preparations.
So, let’s use them and have some fun in preparing a menu that’s perfect for a small (up to 8) friends gathering and can be easily adapted for a larger occasion, since so many of the dishes can be fully prepared ahead.
The menu: · Ginger peach lemonade (spirited and no-alcohol version) · Savory tomato Tatin · Perfect Rack of Lamb · Garlicky wheat berry & Swiss chard salad · Peach & cherry tomato salsa · Peach & tomato sundaes (yes, we’ll make tomato sorbet)
Recipes provided. Allow plenty of time for degustation!
