Usually Man Night requires at least a week of planning, buying and prepping. On this occasion this was more Man Night Lite. A friend had some pretty great news so a few of the fellas come round for an impromptu man night with a few hours notice.
The theme Italian, the result of a few bottles of Berlusconi Rosso lying around.
Kicking things off with a few Berlusconi Spritz and salumi
Enter zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, basil and dusted in semolina
Behold figs stuffed with smoked quail and wrapped in proscuitto
Wanted to hate it but prawn parmigiana worked real well.
Appropriate glasswear
Maltagliata with shaved abalone and fresh porcini mushroom
How everyone finished an 800g woodfired Cape Grim T-Bone….
Aftermath
Pudding: licorice panna cotta with bitter chocolate
Cheese: Gorgonzola with honey.
