New year`s Eve dinner




Fisrt Happy New year to all of you
This is my new year`s Eve menu

For a stater :
Verrines of smoked salmon ,avocado mousse and cream cheese with garlic and herbs
Now Ineed to explain what are Verinnes.The word Verre means glass in French so verinnes are a sort of appetizers that are served in transparent glasses in order to see all the different layers of foods ,the concept is similar to that of the English Trifle .

The main dish :
Chicken cooked in the oven with black olives ,lemon ,thyme ,garlic ,red and green peppers .The chicken was served with roasted potatoes

The dessert:
Frozen Nougat and its strawberry coulis( Idid put too much nuts so Ihad a hard time cutting it but it was delicious)
Nougat is a sweet that is similar to the spanish Turron that is made of honey ,egg whites and almonds.The most famous Nougat is the one from the city of Montelimar in the south of France .
