Bob Hart's Mother's Day menu

Posted by: Bob Hart | 5 May, 2011 - 2:26 PM

There are any number of possibilities for the food we can serve for a Mother's Day lunch, and no particular rules of which I am aware.

The one important aspect, however, is that whatever you cook should involve no effort - before, during or after the meal - from mum.

I will be cooking Mother's Day lunch for a group or around 20 people at the home of our lucky Mother's Day competition winner. And what shall I cook?

First a start, to spare everyone the chore of excessive washing up, this is a perfect day on which to cook all the hot food on a barbecue - in my case, a Weber 220 Q gas barbie. And also, it is a day on which to accompany those hot dishes with a couple of salads - a potato salad, perhaps, and a green salad. Perfect.

But what shall we cook?

Well ... I will start with roasted corn - cooked on the cob which is then brushed with chipotle mayo and sprinkled with grated parmesan. A brilliant, casual starter.

Next, some salmon - and not just any old salmon, but King salmon, farmed in New Zealand, cooked on soaked cedar planks and served with a dill compound butter, the recipe for which is already on the website.

Next, what would any Mother's Day be without our famous grilled lamb cutlets - drizzled with EV olive oil, seasoned, and very quickly cooked to impart handsome grill marks and a outdoor barbecue tang.

To follow? Our deeply popular, world's best steak sangers with garlic mustard butter, served with finely-sliced red onion on warmed ciabatta rolls.

And finally? A surprise - fresh from the amazing bakery in LaManna Direct. Happy Mother's Day!
