Knowing that South African’s love their red meat, Christophe has drawn on his Gallic roots and come up with a mouth-watering menu, featuring beef, pork and lamb. Tyrrel has paired his Joostenberg red wine with these meat dishes and we are set for a really delicious dinner.
Menu
Pot au feu in aspic
Pot au feu is a traditional French peasant dish. It is made from beef poached with aromatic vegetables until very tender. It is usually served hot with mustard and boiled potatoes. To make our starter the meat is prepared in the same way, but then removed from the bone and allowed to set in its own cooking juices and served with Dijon mustard sauce.
