 Pizza, mixed grill & bread
Last might I had 10 people over. First I grilled peppers in my oven as well as eggplant, zuccini & portobellos marinated them in some EVO & fresh basil garlic etc. Then I made some pizzas; a margarita pie; then marinara with hot italian sausage; quatro formagio, and grilled veggie pie. Next I made shrimp scampi in a cast iron pan. I then roasted some potatoes with fresh sage olive oil & salt. While that was cooking I grilled two huge thick porterhouse steaks au poivre, & two racks of lamb which I had marinated with rosemary, garlic, lemon zest & some other goodies. After I removed the meat to rest I seared some tuna steaks I had marinated in a soy ginger mixture. After dinner (and 7 bottles of wine) we had my wife's home baked biscotti & carrot cake. By this time the oven had cooled enough so I could bake bread. All my quests went home with a warm loaf of my levain french bread. As Dudley Moore said in the movie Arthur, "It didn't suck." I am lovin my oven. |
