CAPE TOWN: ONE INGREDIENT DINNER 25/26 JULY

Officially into the midst of Winter, Matt Manning and the One Ingredient team has announced the one ingredient to be the hero of their next menu: the vegetable fennel.   From the earthy bulb of the vegetable to the sweet liquorish flavoured leaves, fennel is a hugely versatile ingredient, whose qualities will be fully appreciated and understood at the upcoming One Ingredient dinners taking place on July 25th and 26th.

Upon arrival, guests will be served Fennel inspired canapés, followed by dinner comprising of a light fennel and liquorish veloute. Guests will head through to the kitchen where Matt will demonstrate the starter that will be shellfish ravioli, prawn and lemon grass bisque, fennel fondue, spiced aubergine, tomato and basil. Guests then have the opportunity to recreate the starter before sitting down and enjoying their dish with a carefully selected wine paired with a selection of Glenwood wines courtesy of Damn Fine Wines. Back into the kitchen we go, as Matt demonstrates how to prepare the main course of Poached and roasted duck breast, braised baby fennel, vanilla and rooibos poached cherries, chestnut, sprout leaves, and cherry jus. Guests can now roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty and have a go at the main course before indulging in yet another fantastic wine pairing.

After the main course guests can sit back and relax as Matt prepares the dessert, which will be his take on a classic lemon tart, fennel and raspberry meringue candied fennel and liquorish marshmallow which will be paired with the final wine.  All wines and aprons will be available to purchase after the dinner at One Ingredient by either paying cash or ordering the wine to be delivered to your door. This unique dining experience has a limited number of spaces and reservations are taken on a first come first serve basis.
