Talk menu to me

This Sunday, 7pm.  9 people at the moment...I doubt I'll have more than 12.

Apps

Vidalia onion tart

Garlic toasts with sauteed spinach and fresh mozzarella

Main

Spicy pork loin with blackberry sauce

Rolls

Sides

Cold veggie salad

Roasted potatoes

Marinated tomato slices

Dessert

White chocolate key lime pie

[Wait for it, wait for it - 6 is going to tell me to add just a little something extra for dessert ;) But what compliments white choc key lime pie, I ask?]

 

If more than 9 reply, I'll add an extra side (tipsy watermelon salad) and a fruit pie (whatever's fresh at the farmer's market Sat. morning).

Question: I'm going to grill the pork in advance and slice it up so that I'm not outside sweating at the grill and my guests aren't waiting ages for too-thick meat to cook - what's the best way to warm it back up and prevent it from drying out?  Just low heat in the oven covered with foil or is there some more sophisticated method?

  • Everything looks great!  BTW - please let me know how the White Choc. Key Lime Pie turns out - I plan on making it next month for something.

     Thanks~

  • Hahah!  I usually like to have a fruit and a chocolate.  White chocolate key lime covers both so I love it.

    To reheat the pork I would probably make some sort of liquid using the seasoning of the pork- water, oj, preserves, and cajon seasonings.  Enough to come up a little bit on the sides of the pork, cover and put in a low oven.

  • If you know your guests well and are not having any vegetarians it seems good to me.

    This exactly.
