It's been a few weeks since the last installment of Gourmet Sunday, but some things are worth the wait (much like the blog about crocodiles which is still coming soon).
Hosts: Spark and Rob
Guests: Along with Amy, Rennick, and Steph, I am pleased to announce we popped the McCrackens' Gourmet Sunday Cherry.
Appetizer: Fresh Italian Artisan bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic.
Soup: A delicious Butternut Squash soup topped with a dash of Chili Sauce.
Salad: Organic Spring Greens and other stuff with a Zesty dressing.
Main: Freshly made Portobello and Roasted Garlic Ravioli in Tomato Sauce and Butternut Squash with a hint of White Wine Raviolo sauteed in Butter and Garlic.
Wine: Simply Crisp and Lively White (that's what it's called!); 2008 Fuzion Shiraz.
Oh, what's that, you don't have time to spend 3.5 hours preparing delicious ravioli from scratch? I say you're a liar by omission and just not dedicated to the cause... Tonight's Gourmet Sunday was definitely the most labour intensive thus far. Having never made fresh pasta, let alone stuffed pasta, there was a lot of trial and error. Thanks everybody for chipping in and helping to get it finished; there was a definite moment I thought we might not eat tonight, but, I'm happy to say we worked it out. Though I will probably never make it again, solely based on the commitment required, the Ravioli was definitely a delight.
