Yesterday was Mother's Day so my husband and I treated my parents to an all-out meat and veggies extravaganza. I had planned to take more pictures but we were all so excited to start eating, I forgot.
Here is the menu:
4lb ribeye roast
brined overnight, coated in a pepper dry rub and smoked for 4 hours
4lb brisket
brined overnight, dry spice rub and smoked for 8 hours
Roasted Vegetables
golden beets, celeriac, carrots, onions, japanese sweet potato
drizzled in grapeseed oil and sprinkled with sea salt and garlic powder
Spring Salad
arugula, baby spinich, fennel root, tomatoes, baby cucumbers
tossed in olive oil, ume plum vinegar and lemon juice
Strawberries and Cream
fresh whipped heavy cream with just a touch of vanilla (no sugar added)
fresh strawberries
My dad, who is 100x harder to feed then my five year old, loved the whole thing. He even ate all the roasted vegetables because he thought they were all varieties of potatoes. When I told him he had just eaten beets and celery root he seemed a bit surprised as he was sure that he didn't like those things.
After I digest all this meat, I will be sure to come back and delve in to the reasons I love using ume plum vinegar.
