The TV cooking show MasterChef has a Mystery Box challenge, where the contestants need to make a dish featuring surprise ingredients they all get in boxes. We chose this as the theme for the dinner on 6th January, where the non-cooking members suggested an ingredient each to go in the Mystery Box: black beans (suggested by Pam), pecans (Andrew), cherries (Jacinta & Franca), and mint (reserve option from Jacinta).
Entre
To start the meal, we had balsamic cherry, feta and prosciutto pizza.
Mains
The main course was cherry and pecan pesto chicken, with black bean salad.
Palate Cleanser
To cleanse out palates after mains, we had a mint sorbet.
Dessert
To finish, the dessert was black bean, pecan and cherry brownies, and cherry and pecan pound cake.
