My in-laws (3 of them) came to lunch yesterday. Because we wanted to go for a walk to the beach, I decided it would be an idea to eat something - then have the walk - and then go back for more. Otherwise we have a huge meal and are then too tired to walk to the beach. This idea came to me because there was something happening in town at 1.30 that I wanted to go to - and it seemed like a good opportunity to see the Great Wall of Ramsgate at the same time.
This is what we had for lunch.
We sat in the garden and ate foccacia (plain and tomato) with lemon tapenade and homemade pesto, and various olives, dried tomatoes, mushrooms etc. This was great - lots of fresh tastes and very satisfying. After an hour or so visiting the seafront we were ready for a bit more.
We ate cold pork cooked in milk, a salad of leaves, couscous and roast vegetables with cumin dressing, caponata and pommes etuvees which I par-cooked before we went out - so that they could quickly be finished when we came home.
Then we had mirabelle trifle - with mirabelle jam, panettone soaked in mirabelle liqueur (home made), topped with cream and a few crumbled amaretti. And then, although people thought they were full, cheese.
After that, coffee in the garden, now at its hottest at about 4.30 - we needed shade!
