Notes

See here for my Smoked red pepper Purée 
Smoked Red Pepper Purée
Serve with chilled chardonnay and salad
A great pairing is a mix of rocket, spinach, origanum, thyme and mint leaves along with a few slices of goats cheese and chrorizo.  Crusty bread or croutons also give a nice crunch to balance the smooth velvety texture of the custard. 
  
Tip 
Substitute smoked salmon for the red pepper purée just to be fancy
