We went to Paso Robles last night to host another Farm Dinner. It was HOT! Paso Robles is a crazy place- it gets over 100 degrees during the day and then in the 50's at night. The farm is tucked in a unique valley of 50 acres, 12 are in vegetable rotations, 6 are in apples and stone fruit and 5 are sheep pasture.
The dinner spot was great though. We found a huge tree- for shade. We were along rows of apple trees...and mountains in the distance. It was a small dinner with 70 guests. Chef Chris prepared a wonderful dinner (menu to come)- with lamb and great vegetables. His dessert was AMAZING.
Menu: Stone Fruit and Farm Green Salad with Spiced Pecans and Goat Cheese Buttermilk Vinaigrette. (The pecans were spiced with cayenne pepper from the Windrose Farm.)
Morro Bay Seafood (Hook and Line) Snapper - From Pier 46- Templeton with smoked tomato Paella, Charter Oak lingucia (house made sausage), rock crab, fava beans, and mussels!
Barbecued Leg of Lamb with braised onions, carrots, romesco, mint salsa verde.
Peach and Plum Galette (Rustic Free-Form Pie) with Strawberries and Blueberries and Creme Fraiche Ice Cream.
