Mixed Greens with Smoked Lamb & Spiced PecansWell dinner tonight I think can only be described with a quote that Bill Murray used in the movie Caddyshack.
"I have to laugh, because I have out finessed myself"

Left with nothing but a seemingly empty refrigerator I was able to turn a handful of mixed greens into a pretty, sexy, Summer salad. Okay, okay, before I hurt my arm patting myself on the back I guess I need to acknowledge that it wasn't like I was dividing bread up for the masses or turning water into wine (Though I did have a glass of 1998 Chateau Reignac).
Beside the greens I had some roasted/smoked leg of lamb that I julienned, a few oven dried tomatoes, some (quickles) and to add some extra crunch I tossed in the spiced pecans I used for appetizers yesterday. A little balsamic dressing and toasted baguette smeared with a triple cream brie (it almost looked like butter) and I would be happy to serve this to company-Bon Appetit

Thank you for reminding me of that quote. It's been far too long sinced I've watched that movie!
ReplyDeleteI love leftover salad! I have never had the opportunity to make one with lamb though. Yum. Jealous.
Not too shabby! Not too shabby at all...
