Classic Moules Marinières with Aioli & Croutons

Bring the French Riviera to African soil with this classic mussel recipe steamed in white wine, garlic and a dash of cream, best served straight from the cooking pot with fresh or toasted bread and lashings of aioli. 

Beef Carpaccio with Wholegrain Mustard Vinaigrette & Shaved Aged Huguenot

There are few platters more elegant than a generous carpaccio starter, using a top quality fillet of venision or beef. Ours uses premium beef fillet and is topped with a zesty wholegrain mustard dressing, punchy rocket leaves and a generous amount of shaved aged Huguenot cheese

Chicken Schnitzel with Truffle Crisp Crust, Vegetable Purée & Dill Sauce

Nothing beats a comforting, crunchy schnitzel. But perhaps this version is levelling things up to the max, using Rootstock’s hand-made Summer Truffle Crisps in the crust, served in a silky bed of cauliflower puree and a drizzle of creamy dill sauce.

French Style Platter, with Chicken Liver Paté

Entertaining is always easier with a French style snacking platter. For this one, we’ve teamed up with Klein Joostenberg to bring you this delightful platter, including a silky smooth organic chicken liver paté.

Pizza bianca with mushrooms, blue cheese & leeks

Pizza bianca is a popular style of Italian pizza that omits the traditional tomato base sauce for a “whiter” appearance. This robust combination of exotic mixed mushrooms, tangy blue cheese (preferably gorgonzola) and soft buttery leeks makes a phenomenal pairing with Radford Dale’s Vinum Pinot Noir  

Cassoulet with Chicken, Pork belly & Smoked sausage

Although there are countless renditions of this iconic, traditional French dish from the Languedoc region, we have created a recipe that is slightly more accessible. This cassoulet is the perfect pairing for Radford Dale’s Vinum Gamay Noir.
