Coincidentally, it was the very wine Nigel Havers ordered when he first ever ate with us at The Quill and Tassel. Jose-Luis never ate at The Tassel. I doubt he even knew who Nigel was. But they're linked by this Vina Hernandez.I had a dream last night. Cad only in tennis shorts, I wandered into a cinema on the Ramblas in Barcelona. And there, in the back row, was Jose-Luis, watching Nigel in 'Chariots Of Fire'. That's the power of a great wine. It takes the imagination to strange and wonderful places. It hits the sweet spot in your mind, too. Ingredients:
Bottarga, close-shaved
1 Arthur Legg-Bourke chicken, jointed (www.arthurleggbourkersfarmnearbanbury.co.uk)
1 gullet of New Zealand fat-lip mussels
Italian risotto riz, 235 gms
1 southern Spanish onion
Garlic, two bulbcloves
4 Italian flat-chested plum tomatoes
Piselli, molto
Saffron, pinche
Red pepper, nuded
1 carrot, tapered
A stique of celery
6 Madagascan king of king prawns
