he was a really good sport.....
After that dinner may be served and everyone can dig in. Hopefully I am now eating and have put the camera down (hopefully)
This dinner was simple in preparation (I might be in trouble for this comment)
but huge in flavor and perfect with the several bottles of wine we opened and the conversation that flowed the rest of the evening.
The tri-tip was rubbed with a Creole seasoning http://www.tonychachere.com/seasoning/ and some added fresh black pepper then grilled to perfection.
The tomato corn salsa dish was very difficult to not just stick my spoon in and eat all of it right there!
Everyone else could have steak and tortillas. I was going to finish this bowl! Recipe? Follows:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped shallots
2 cups garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh corn kernels
2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add shallots and garlic, saute 1 minute. Add corn, saute 5 minutes or until corn is lightly browned. Add tomatoes, saute 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Place corn mixture in a medium bowl: cool to room temperature. Stir in basil and salt. THEN EAT ALL OF IT
DELICIOUS
There was also a guacamole dip and chips that I never got around to trying
because of being completely distracted by the tomato corn thing.
Combine all of the above flavors with several glasses of this
It was a fantastic evening.
Thank you Andrea and Dustin. Looking forward to many more dinners together.
