For a change, we hosted the New Year’s Eve celebration. It was low-key and broke up well before midnight. (Blame my farm girl genes and my 5:30 am swim for that.) The menu was paella with chicken and Spanish chorizo, sous vide parsnips, salad, crusty bread, and chocolate cake. As an appetizer, I made bacon jam and brie phyllo cups. These were well received.
The next day we had leftovers that needed to be repurposed. The chicken thighs had all been consumed from the paella, so Julian suggested fried paella for lunch. This is similar to Chinese fried rice, with eggs scrambled in at the end. This was successful. For dinner I made a red lentil soup and threw in the crunchy sous vide parsnips. These softened up nicely with additional cooking. The soup also served as my lunch at work for the rest of the week. Gemisch is good.
