There were the girls...
...and a few Good Men...
Greg was a demon on the Weber with a great, big, fat bird! He also juggled the gas braai and delivered perfectly crisp Chirizo to nibble on, (and it wasn't as dainty as nibble sounds!), whilst the Main attraction was being put together.
It was cooked to perfection and I got hustled into carving the Beast....err Bird.
Liz contributed a succulent roasted Gammon, and there was a host of Yummy side dishes, not least of all these mouthwatering, bacon wrapped potatoes, Elsie's Mom's receipe, which She used to make as a tradition for Christmas.
By the time the dessert had to come out, which we'd been responsible for, we were all well oiled!
So I added fat to the fire and served the World's most decadent Chocolate Pots, on demand from Elsie, with a nice sweetish dessert wine.
175g 70% chocolate, 2 egg, 2 tbl spoon of strong coffee, 2 tbl spoon of coffee liqueur and 285ml cream.Blend all the ingredients except the cream in a blenders, whilst heating the cream to just below boiling. Pour the hot cream into the running blender in a slow stream and continue blending until colour is even and consistent.
Pour into espresso cups and chill until set.
As a variation I did two lots, the first with a chili chocolate, garnished with the chocolate truffle, and the second batch with Kirsch instead of coffee liqueur, garnished with fresh cherries. I served with dessert wine and chocolate biscotti to dip with. Unbelievably Triple Yummy!
