We picked a new recipe from Donna Hay for our starter on Saturday night – blue cheese and caramelized onion brioche. We got the brioche from Paul and decided to make our own caramelized onions. It eventually took us over an hour to get them properly browned and our whole apartment smelling of onions. Slighting frying the brioche and slices of green apple, we topped it off with the caramelized onions and pieces of blue cheese. The finishing product was heavenly (although most of it was the anticipation me thinks). For the main we went with something we’d done a few times before – lamb loin and mushroom wrapped in puff pastry. We were cautious not to leave it in the oven for too long and it came out just right, at least for the middle part with the meat all pink and juicy. Overall quite satisfied with our dinner but got ourselves quite full with all that bread and pastry!
