Silk Road 7 Course Menu
To Commence: A two part trilogy of small dishes to showcase the ever changing flavours and ingredients along the route
THE JOURNEY BEGINS:
They say the road begins in Anatolia, grows more fragrant in Persia and finds its warmth in the hearths of Uzbekistan. But, by then, you are no longer the same traveller who set out.
1. Anatolia – Sumac & pomegranate Lamb
2. Persia – Saffron & Barberry Chicken
3. Uzbekistan – Goat, yoghurt & Apricot
PART2: CROSSING DESERTS & MOUNTAINS
I learned quickly. in Kyrgyzstan, the spice is bold and close to the fire, in the mountains of Nepal it sharpens with the air and spices blossom. In China, it settled into something quieter, more precise, and deeply assured.
4. Kyrgyzstan – Uyghur Cumin lamb (manti?)
5. Nepal – Nutmeg, Fennel, Kashmiri chilli
6. China – Beef & Ginger Dumpling
THE CURRENCY OF TRADE
It is but a token, we pass from hand to hand. Its worth is measured only in metal, Sadly not the vast distance it has travelled with us.
So let us put down our map and trade a coin for a hot meal.
Lamb stock made from roasted bones, garlic, onion, carrot and celery. Gently simmered for 7 hours, reduced to a concentrated broth and dehydrated.
Served with a slow cooked seven vegetable stock.
