    Caliqueen’s birthday dinner. 

    Panko crusted SV lamb (Anova recipe, subbed miso + mirin for the mustard); chilled beet cairn, with honey mascarpone and balsamic vinaigrette; ‘shrooms sautéed in the lamb trimmings. 

    Not the best plated shot, but it all turned out well. 





    Wow. My birthday is in July. Just saying. 

    The lamb looks beautifully cooked. That beet looks like a macaron!

    @caliking - a plate of beauty.  Perfect finish on that lamb.  Congrats.

    That looks incredible.  Love the beet cairn concept.  Very cool man.

    @JohnInCarolina @GrateEggspectations the beet thingy paired surprisingly well with the lamb. The filling called for goat cheese, which I didn't have on hand. Definitely worth repeating. 

    @Mattman3969 Thanks for the birthday wishes. I will let her know.

    Beets and goat cheese with some balsamic, olive oil and candied nuts is one of my favorite side dishes.  Enough so we make it for a light main quite often.

    Those were some big frogs!

    Have made this as a side a lot, but have never thought about it as a main. You just solved tonight’s dinner, my man! Out of goat cheese, so subbing in some grilled halloumi instead. Thanks.

    I had the same thought! They were tasty and pretty easy to put together. Love the idea of the candied nuts.

    There is a fancy farm to table restaurant here that we stole this from.  If you want to really church it up make some balsamic gelatin (unflavored gelatin and balsamic vinegar) we do that in a silicone tray and then slice in small cubes.  Doesn’t taste any different but reduces liquids on the plate.

    edit found an old photo of red and gold beets with white balsamic jelly.

    I'd kill that plate. Did you make the chorizo crema, too? I haven't been able to get that out of my head.

    Wow! This just keeps getting better. Are those 'maters in the beet cairn, or something else?

    @caliking I did make the chorizo cream sauce, it was solid.  I had been thinking about this meal for a week, spatched the chicken on Saturday, and was anticipating for two days, so my expectations were likely higher than it delivered.  I will say the melted jack and crème in the bottom of the pan was insanely good.  I should have added more cream to the enchilada pan as well.

    Sorry… just saw that you mentioned gold beets. I don’ read good, apparently.
