"What I Cooked Today" Day 355

When I got home from work today, Jochem and I engaged in somewhat of a cooking frenzy. First, we made this lamb dish, which was quite complicated. The lamb goes into the oven, then you make the potato puree, then you prepare the cabbage, and finally you make gravy with the juices from the lamb while the lamb itself is resting. In this picture the cabbage is quite green and the potato puree is orange because we used more carrots than potatoes, but it was a wonderfully homey dish.

For dessert we made one of my favorite things ever: English pudding with whiskey cream. I tend to enjoy desserts that are more in the pastry family, like cakes and muffins, and I also like anything with chocolate (chocolate mousse, homemade chocolate bars, chocolate crepes et cetera), but this little baby has stolen my heart. You need 1,5 kilos of orchard fruit like apples, pears and plums, which you then softly boil in butter, brown sugar, bay leaf, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Then you make a pie with your homemade batter by making layers of fruit, batter, and fruit again. Put it in the oven and then serve with whiskey cream.

And after all that, we also made this drink with some leftover rhubarb. This is a creamy rhubarb cocktail with tequila and Turkish raki mixed with vanilla pods. Pretty AND delicious!
