Jean-Pierre had promised a special dinner for Valentine, so Michele and I went driving along the beautiful Mediterranean coast around Sanary to leave space in the kitchen for our strong tempered chef!
We started with a special wine from Corsica, a fruity white served very cold that was perfect for the appetizer!
The appetizer was a large plate of sea urchins caught in the morning in the area. One dozen per person! It's sublime!
Then came the main course, an elaborated roast of lamb cooked to perfection in puff pastry. The garnish was roasted granache potatoes, spring onions, and a delicious garlic cream that was perfect with the lamb.
The dessert was a Corsica speciality made with chestnut flour, cooked in the oven as a pie shell with pine nuts sprinkled on top.
What did your special one prepare for you for Valentine?
