Seasonal Supper Club
It’s that time year when the air is crisper and we feel a longing to gather and celebrate the distinctive flavors of fall, spiced apple, roasted poultry and late summer veggies.
It’s fall Supper Club time at The Prickly Pear.
This menu is inspired by harvest in the New England Berkshires, our homesteading heritage, French Normandy, and the concept of a communal meal.
Together we will roll, dredge, and fry creamy goat cheese croquettes served with homemade peach dijon sauce.
Then we we will compose a fresh apple and fennel salad, neatly julienned with care and dressed in applewood bacon and maple syrup vinaigrette, then garnished with warm, toasted pumpkin seed.
Next, we will create Poulet a la Normande, or Chicken Normandy, a classic French comfort food dish of braised chicken in apple cider, swimming in apple slices, shallots, thyme and cream. Learn the benefits of braising and using choice chicken sections, as well as developing flavor through reduction.
To accompany your entrée, we will be making smashed rosemary garlic potatoes.
End the meal by baking a spiced petit applecake made from a heirloom recipe, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream, and finished with handcrafted caramel sauce.
And then, of course, sit and enjoy the meal you have so carefully prepared.
The experience will leave you appreciating these harvest inspired favorites for what they are, a taste of home, a celebration of our favorite season, and an opportunity to gather with new friends, supper club-style.
