A few weekends ago I found myself in Stanmore of all places and cooking another paella, again I hear them say, I know, although it was for a friend that has a great little catering buisness in Balmain, Hatrich Catering. Hattie was away for the weekend and asked me to fill in, I post these pics beacause we actually help this in a garage because of the heavy rain. It gave the day a different vibe and I loved the old table and chairs, it really made the cosy event seem rustic and relaxed. Also the watercres, fennel and pomegranate salad was so fresh with the rice dish and it went down a treat, I will post something other than Paella next, I promise.
By the way, Australian pomegranate are coming in to season, they are amazing with slow roast lamb, just sprinkled on top, also on top of fruit salad and in salads. To remove seeds simply cut them in half and the hold cut side down, to a bowl and whack the top with a wooden spoon and watch all the seeds fly into the bowl! Store extra seeds in cranberry juice and use later.
