A simple delicious dinner. Not sure what to call this amalgamation of soft, creamy, peppery, crunchy, onion-y, lemony-goodness, but it was divine, especially with the accompanying Spanish Rioja wine. The one we had tonight was "Lan". Mmmm.
The meal consisted of:
Grilled multi-grain sourdough bread (brushed with olive oil previous to grilling). After grilling, I slathered it with pesto (freshly made with almonds rather than pine nuts and pecorino rather than parmesan). The pesto-covered bread was then topped with grilled asparagus (tossed with olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground pepper before grilling), a poached egg, and arugula salad (which had been tossed in a lemon vinaigrette - 1 part lemon to 2 parts olive oil, salt, pepper and a pinch of Coleman's mustard powder). This collection was then garnished with chèvre, garlic chives and freshly ground pepper. The flavors burst in every bite and the yolk gushed just enough to add creaminess to a bite here and there. We followed it up with a little dark chocolate as we sipped the last bit of the wine -- complete satiation.
