A Farm-to-Table Dinner Party
....................................................................................................
After a lovely walk to pick up farm-fresh vegetables at the Prairie Crossing Farm, we're off to the kitchen for a shared cooking experience.
..........
An Appetizer
Quick cucumber pickles with basil olive oil will be our appetizer during cooking
Meanwhile we will make a colorful salad with shaved fennel and raw summer roots and serve them at our shared table with a bagna cauda dressing made of stewed garlic and aromatic herbs
..........
Our Main Course
Napa cabbage involtini and oven-baked risotto
After working together as a team we will sit down to the dinner with a colorful main course of steamed Napa cabbage filled with the simplest of onion and carrot soffritto. Our stuffed cabbage will be matched by an oven-baked garden risotto
..........
Dessert
Fresh fruit sorbet
Summer fruits are in abundance and need little cooking technique to make for a wonderful dessert. We will make a fresh fruit sorbet and serve it in layers of yoghurt and honey next to dark chocolate date truffles.
..........
Recipes and tips for creating your family pantry will be part of our kitchen stories with the Liberty Prairie Foundation.
