velvet escape’s Culinary Journey: Blue Mountains
2009 April 15
What: Rack of lamb with a Thai green salad
Where: Lyn’s home (Blue Mountains, Australia)
Note: Ok, not a restaurant this time. I had this amazing meal at the home of Lyn, a dear friend of mine, up in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. The incredibly tender rack of lamb was marinated with coriander while the sublime Thai green salad consisted of baby lettuce, rocket, basil, bean sprouts, green beans, coriander and mint, and dressed with lime juice, fish sauce and finely chopped red chillies. We had a zesty Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc to accompany the meal. Result: an awesome lunch I will not easily forget! Why isn’t Lyn a chef?!!

That’s a great combination too. I’m a big fan of mozarella, plain or melted on toast with pesto and rocket! Awesome!
i love rocket with buffalo mozzarella because i had it once in Amalfi and it was unforgettable combination with some great evoo, salt, and pepper.
I love both coriander & rocket. I have a rocket salad at least once a week. Not much on it, just some sea salt and pepper, olive oil, lemon juice and Italian herbs. My idea of heaven on a plate!
Yum! I love rocket! So many people would prefer without the strong and pungent rocket or coriander, but I love these 2!
