I had been to three markets in the morning and went a little wild. So we texted a few friends and had six people to dinner at 7pm last night. I started dinner preparations at 5:30pm, and meal was ready by 7:30pm, with lots of time in-between to doodle and get ready. The appetizers included skewers of home semi-dried cherry tomatoes with basil and bocconcini (small mozzarella balls), a purchased Moroccan eggplant spread, a plate of Italian Salami sent by a friend, and guests brought a cold spread of fish, capers and fennel. Total hodge-podge of stuff for guests to pick and choose as they pleased. For the main course buffet, we put out this plate of modified carpaccio which I will describe in more detail below, a pasta with crab meat, sambal and preserved lemons (featured here before), a tossed green salad with two kinds of tomatoes, and vegetable side dishes of baby carrots with butter and maple syrup and broccolini with garlic, chilies and lemon juice. Part of the objective of the dinner was to make use of as much of the market bounty we had acquired earlier in the day. Dessert was a choice of three kinds of frozen yogurt (brought by guests) and several types of dark chocolate. Coffee or tea. :)]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/pasture-raised-seared-beef-carpaccio-a-la-marketman/feed 13
