One of the offerings for my 17 guests during my solstice celebratory cooking session yesterday. (Click for larger view.) For background, see yesterday’s post.
I produced five or six core dishes for the menu, overall. Boy, that was fun! (There were also some excellent dishes brought by guests, and I had various other things on the table such as olives, nuts, corn chips with dips, etc.) I’ve never been in chef mode for a group this large before - also while also playing host - and so I learned a lot about logistics (and talking while prepping and cooking several meals simultaneously).
Have a look in the picture below for some of the raw ingredients I assembled my various dishes from, obtained after a very long shopping trip to the Hollywood Farmer’s market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and a local organic food store.
And yes, we all toasted the sun (if you’ll forgive the phrase) from the roof as it disappeared off the side of the earth.

How about the recipe. As I have mentioned elsewhere, a number of nutritionally conscious oncologists recommend eating very colorful foods for the broad “spectrum” of phytochemicals.
Looks very good.

Hi,
It is similar to the recipe I discussed in the related “Entertaining Saturday” post (listed above). I substituted somewhat (asparagus instead of their cousins, artichokes, and red onions were soaked in red wine vinegar) and moved things around a bit, and I also added beetroot (which you simply roast in their skins wrapped in foil).
Best,
