So much to do so little time. Michaela has packed her bag! Note the signs Porta and Finestre (Italian for door and window)
Saturday, spent the afternoon cleaning out the garage so that Anne (who is looking after the dog and the house) can put her 1967 Holden car into the garage. JC, Ryan and Kelsey came to help. No photo's of the assistants, only the results.
We had a beautiful evening meal last night and I thought I would share it with you. It is from the"Food lover's diet : a GI plan for losing weight and living well the French way" by Michel Montignac
This is called Grilled Beef with spinach and horsradish sauce.
Ingredients
200g french beans
500 g rump steak
1 red onion halved
Good quality Olive Oil
85 g Baby Spinach
50 g Watercress
200 g sundried tomatoes
Horseradish Sauce
125 ml Greek Yoghurt
1 tbsp Horseradish Cream
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Double Cream
2 Cloves of Garlic, crushed
2-3 drops of Tabasco
Steam the french beans for about 4 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
Preheat the grill, grill the meat for 2 minutes on each side, set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the onion for 3 minutes on each side.
Arrange the spinach, watercress, tomatoes and beans on a serving platter.
To make the horseradish sauce, beat together the yoghurt, cream, garlic, Horseradish cream, lemon juice, tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste.
Cut the beef into thin slices and display over the salad. Slice the onion thinly and sprinkle over the dish. Add the horseradish sauce and serve.
Mothers Day today and I had beautiful cards from both children and lots of presents - thank you all. Michaela went over to her friend T's to play and the rest of us went to Fletchers Fotographics and bought a video camera, as you can see here.
I must go now and put the kids to bed and have a glass of wine.
