Wedding Fare

What do you take to a vegetarian pot luck wedding? It needed to be portable, servable without bowls or exotic utensils. There was no way to reheat anything and the event was a two hour drive away from the kitchen. Another consideration involved using some of our fresh garden produce.

A roasted vegetable rattatouie fit the bill very well and went over nicely. It was actually better once served cold than it was fresh off the stove.

Yes, I have A fetish for southern comfort food.

My favorite thing this time around was using the grill for frying. I set the two large pots right sown on the grill surface. The wind made consistent heat levels a challenge but the benefits were clear. I saved two spots on the stove for the kale, mashed potatoes, etc. I also saved a lot of cleanup work as all of the oil stayed outside with th grill.

Happy cooking and dining!
