MENU
SALAD
Glorious greens and edible flowers sing in this fresh-from-the-garden salad, featuring the floral and peppery notes of Snowdon Houses newest culinary addition, their stunning Nasturtium Vinegar.
Chef/Farmer: Laura Waters, Snowdon Farm and Gourmet Gifts
APPETIZER
Hoi Jaw Tod, a delightfully unusual Thai wrap made from ground pork, fresh crushed garlic, cilantro, oyster sauce, green onions, eggs and flour, wrapped in dried bean sheets and steamed. They are great for snacking or as an appetizer before the main dishes.
Chef/Farmer: Kallayanee Glover, Kallayanees Kitchen , Thai Cooking School and Garden
MAIN PLATE
Herb stuffed chicken breast wrapped with Four Quarters Meats house-smoked pancetta (thinly sliced pork belly cured with herbs and garlic)
Chef/Marker: Geoff Pinch, Four Quarters Meats, artisan meat production
Heirloom Anneth Beans with garlic and olive oil. A traditional Montenegrin dish made with original Romano-type beans brought half a century ago over from Montenegro by Anneth Farm co-owner Stans father. The bean is now proprietary to Anneth Farm and the only place in the region/country you will taste it!! The beans are steamed until soft and buttery, and tossed with garlic (not a little!), salt and pepper.
Chef/Farmer: Stan and Chris Vuksic, Anneth Farm
Fresh tomato salad with basil and pine nuts. In Montenegro, everyone has a garden, no matter how little land they have. There is no such thing as an unripe tomato purchased from a large grocery store. When you taste the tomatoes and basil of this dish, you may never be able to buy a supermarket tomato again.
Chef/Farmer: Stan and Chris Vuksic, Anneth Farm
Wholegrain Italian style sourdough dinner bun.
Chef/Farmer: Mitchell Morse, The Fickle Fig Farm Market
DESSERT
Dark Chocolate Cheesecake on a bed of chocolate soil (crumb), drizzled with blackberry sauce and decorated with a tempered chocolate garnish.
Chef/Farmer: Mitchell Morse, The Fickle Fig Farm Market
