Okay, "she" hit another bullseye tonight. She wanted to do something Scottish and discovered they eat a lot of kale and fish. So here is kale potatoes with butter and Irish cheddar cheese. These potatoes were REALLY good. Snap peas with leeks and garlic. And butter of course. Fried salmon (butter was involved) with a sauce to die for. Creams sauce that called for Aberlour which we did not have on site so we substituted Speyburn. This was the kind of sauce that makes you happy to pay $60 for a meal, even without the ambiance. Two glasses of chardonnay gave up their lives but not in vain.
Last night, clean-out-the-fridge lamb stew. "She" and I wonder why everyone does not love lamb. She started with lamb bones and meat from the freezer, processed in the InstaPot with carrots, leeks, garlic, celery, allspice and vinegar. For THREE HOURS. This was strained through a colander to make broth and the meat was recovered. Some more leeks, carrots, potatoes, kale and barley salad (from the fridge) were added. A cucumber, red pepper salad and romaine lettuce salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. Oh....and toasted homemade bread.
