Sherry & Seafood

Recently we played host to Luvians Sherry and Seafood evening.
Luvians supplied the sherry and the knowledge and we provided a small plates to match!
As sherry is a fortified Spanish wine, we thought it would be nice to keep a spanish theme and offer tapas style nibbles.
To begin with we served Smoked Mackerel Patè and Orange served on a Seaweed Oatcake. 

​Pickled Herring with Potato Salad. Perfect seasonal summer style. The Zingyness (thats a word) from the pickled fish and the creaminess from the potato work together well.
​Perfect as an appetiser or as a side salad. 

Next mini dish we offered was Seared Scallops with Cream Leek Risotto and Crispy Ham. 

This was a gorgeous little bite and the seared scallop was delicious! The creamy risotto melted int he mouth and made the perfect bed for our fresh buttery scallop. The salty crispy ham tasted delicious.  The ham also worked to stop the dish being to heavy and rich. 

​
​

Cod and Chorizo Croquettes served with Red Pepper Sauce. 
These were tasty bites, Crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. Served hot with amazing sweet red pepper sauce for dipping. The sweet pepper dip works beautifully with the sherry poured from Luvians. 

​Sizzling Grilled Tiger Prawns with Garlic and Paprika. 
​
This dish felt like we had captured the true essence of Spain. With our massive tiger prawns grilled in paprika spices and
garlic - they smelled amazing!!
Served with the honey and rich sherry matched perfectly. 
​

Finally we served Luvians perfect Vanilla Ice Cream with Sherry Soaked Raisins.
Sherry is one of the most delicious toppings for ice cream, so we thought why not add sherry and raisins to make the perfect final course to this tasty evening.
