What is seasonal in the month of March

March at Trinity

We have sourced a beautiful rare breed Devon Black cow and will be offering this wonderful meat in many guises including home made bresaola, braises, home made salt beef and, of course, roast fillet and rib eye. This animal has been slaughtered and hung to our specification and is eating well. We are proud to announce that we will be hosting the British Academy of Gastronomes dinner during the middle of the month.

We have also launched the new season Spring menu this week which makes great use of some of this seasons great new ingredients. In putting together this menu the Crab Ravioli remains by popular demand as does our milk Chocolate soufflé. We have added some great new dishes using English Veal, Blue Fin Tuna and a light but delicious salad of Smoked Ham Hock Lyonnaise. To view this menu in full click here.

Wine at Trinity

We remain focused on our philosophy to provide you with well sourced and reasonably priced great artisan wines. We recently brought in a number of great fine wines and, as always, are pricing with serious modesty at the top end of the list.

Some of these new introductions include Ormer Bay Chenin Blanc 2006, a certified Fairtrade white wine from South Africa, Howard Park 2004, an Australian red wine, as well as Calera Pinot Noir 2004. This Pinot Noir winery was once described by Robert Parker as "one of the most compelling Pinot Noir specialist not only in the new world, but of Planet Earth". Our Sommelier Severine is as usual on hand to offer advice and guide customers in the art of food and wine matching.

Sunday at Trinity

Our aim to offer a sought after classic Sunday lunch is being well received with a number of families and Trinity regulars taking us up on a seriously good roast. We also offer a number of whole roast joints for larger groups to share on Sundays. Full details of how you and a group of friends and family can enjoy a whole suckling pig at Trinity can be found on our website.

Master Classes

This spring sees the launch of the Trinity Master class. We will be holding the Master classes once a week with a curriculum that changes weekly. The package includes a 50 minute tuition based on that week's subject, a three course lunch and a glass of Champagne.

What's seasonal?

This month the purple sprouting Broccoli is in full swing and marries well with lamb, pork and poached fish. Lamb is great for braising cuts at the moment, and flat fish as in Lemon Sole, Plaice and Turbot are quite expensive but worth the price. Forced rhubarb is great and in abundance, paired with a simple Pannacotta, it is worthy of space in any kitchen. I have included a simple Pannacotta recipe below for your reference.

Looking forward to seeing you at Trinity soon,

  Recipe

March 07  

Vanilla Pannacotta with Poached Forced Rhubarb and Blood Orange
Makes 6 pannacotta

Method
1 Bring to the boil the cream, vanilla and sugar, and then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.

2 Soften the gelatine in cold water for 10 minutes and then add it to the boiled cream.

3 Pass the cream and vanilla mix through a fine sieve and fill up 6 small serving containers. (If you don't have the moulds, I would use a small coffee cup or alternatively set this in the intended serving bowl.

4 Cut the rhubarb into roughly 10 cm long sticks and lay flat on a baking tray. Sprinkle the sugar over the Rhubarb and then juice the lemon and orange over it as well. Place the pan in an oven at 160c for 20 minutes. The rhubarb should be still a little firm but the sugar dissolved.

5 Once the rhubarb is cold and the Pannacotta set simply serve the two together in a bowl with lashings of the cooking juices. If you have the time a crisp shortbread would be a great accompaniment.

Enjoy!!
