A recent dinner of ours:
fresh snapper and ingredients
stuffed with lemon and thyme
covered in 3 lbs of salt and egg whites
out of the oven and salt crust removed
skin removed
raw kale salad, ale and white wine
nothing left
It was one of those occasions where every flavor was simple, elevated and perfectly blended. Lingering over our food and drink encouraged better conversation and appreciation for all things--great and small.
Preparing an entire fish was (strangely) nice as well. It was working with real food--fresh, humanely caught and delicious. It felt wholesome to resist the world's trend of cheez-whiz and chicken paste. In my opinion, if you can't handle working with the real thing you shouldn't eat it at all.

Um. I am fascinated by these photos. And I want to know what this tastes like and if the kitties begged for it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really delicious. I can almost taste the 'simple' flavors. Yum.
ReplyDeletePS. I adore the dish you cooked the fish in. So pretty.
