Help me! Pre dessert dish?
Discussion
t, and isn't really a refreshing dish like we hoped.I'll list a couple of things I've done, if they seem appealing I'll post the recipe. I'm going to guess that sorbets are out, due to time - unless you have an ice cream maker?
Pineapple and Chilli Soup - (Gordon Ramsay)
Strawberry & Prosecco Terrine (French Laundry - I think)
Tiny Pear & Ginger Tarts - very easy to do
Individual Fig Tarte Tatin - also easy if you have ready made pastry in the freezer.
Lemon Syllabub served in a shot glass
Umm, I'll keep thinking...

Any more detail on the menu? I'm a little confused about 'pre dessert'?
Sure, if you are French, that'll be the cheese course; they think we are barbarians for having the cheese afterwards. And, anyway, their women need a wash!
But, it is too late for a sorbet, and you haven't much time...

Okay guys, I had a moment of inspiration
I decided to use the 'innocent' fruit smoothie (blackcurrant, apple and something else) sling in some sugar and vodka, throw it in some shot glasses, stick it in the freezer and go with a sorbet type dish.
Worked a treat, and no messy mixing of berries etc, which under my time constraints was what I was trying to avoid.
Menu was as follows:

Menu was as follows:
- Sweet potato and carrot soup with creme fraiche and chilli oil - very small portion (Tanya Ramsay)
- Seared scallops with roasted plum tomatoes, proscuito and bean/anchovi paste and rocket (Return of naked chef)
- Chicken and leek pie with sausage meatballs + roasted veg and parsnip mash (Jamie Oliver green book)
- Sorbet (see above)
- Chocolate pots (wife's recipe)
- Fresh coffee (new machine for xmas
)
