Ok, i recently purchased a new cookbook.

 

This particular book focusses on braaing.

 

So, with the cookbook under my arm and a short trip to the woolworths, this is what i made for my family yesterday

 

 

 

Starters :

 

A spicy meatball with nam jim sauce served in a lettuce cup, with buffalo mozza balls wrapped in proscutto served with grilled broccolini and vine tomatoes

 

Mains:

 

Sweet potato and coriander and feta salad and a medium rare sliced rump basted in wholegrain mustard and brown sugar served with an umami cream sauce

 

Dessert:

 

Roasted caremelised flambayed bananas with a vanilla chocolate mousse.

So easy.

 

Take sweet potatoes raw, cut into wedges, leave skin on.

 

drizzle olive oil and roast till 5 minutes from being done.

 

Take out oven and drizzle with syrup/caster sugar and roast for further five minutes till caremelized (adjust sweetness to taste)

 

Take out oven and let cool.

 

Whilst cooling, thinly slice some red onion and soak in a good red wine vinegar.

 

When potatoes are cool, arrange in a bowl/serving dish, sprinkle with the drained onions that have softened in the vinegar, crumble on some good quality feta and sprinkle with coriander.

 

ITS AMAZING.

I made a wicked pud the other day... chocolate fudge brownies swirled with baked cheesecake....I did have a taster of this and it was damn good! Next thing on my list is a triple chocolate kahlua cheesecake...... eish... suddenly had this urge to bake... and I barely eat desserts!!

 

PS.. That menu sounds droolishly good!

So lets see if you guys can help a guy out here.

 

Met a girl that is a qualified chef, she brought me a choc mouse variation of her own in a 'blik beker'.

I'd like to the give the 'beker' back to her with some form of dessert in it.

 

Any suggestions on what I could make that would work well inside the beker or scooped into it?

Natural or synthetic casings?
