The thing I love about Jamie Oliver is the simplicity of the cooking. This meal was created from memory from a Jamie Oliver show I had seen a while ago. For dinner, I went with:
- Sourdough baguette with olive oil and vinaigrette
- Simple lamb roast
- Sides of asparagus and snow peas
- Greek salad
So here is the lamb before:
And here is the lamb after about 50min in the oven at 180 degrees celcius:
Hmmmm... perhaps a little work on the presentation is required...The veges before:
The veges while cooking in olive oil:
The Greek Salad:
Finally, Here is The Meal:
And yes folks, those are CHRISTMAS place mats! I know, I thought exactly the same, so don't ask...
I picked a bottle of Long Flat Destinations 2005 Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley) to go with the meal. I want to master the art of choosing a wine to suit a meal, but for now, I like Pinot Noirs and thats good enough for me!
My guinea pig, opps, i mean, guest, enjoyed the meal. So what do you think?
Location: A house around the corner from mine.
Soundtrack: SAWDUST - The Killers 2007. I absolutely LOVE The Killers. In fact, I think they are my all time favourite band. I saw them in the summer of 2007 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre and they were incredible! Brandon Flowers *sigh* has such a capacity to engage the audience. It was amazing. I especially enjoyed the moment when he jumped on the grand piano and stood, arms outstretched, like he was offering the audience a sermon when he was singing "When You Were Young". And he is beautiful, but that's beside the point! hehe
