Born05

8 augustus 2014

Born05 opened their new office in Utrecht with a real party. Guest Republic shaked delicious cocktails and we served finger food with it. Here’s what we cooked:

Pistachio coated goat’s cheese lollipops with grapes 

Green gazpacho with lemon yoghurt and walnuts

Burgers with avocadomayonaise, bacon, pickled beetroots and tomato

Fritatta made of sweet potato, goat’s cheese and spinach

Dates filled with gambas, wrapped in jamon de Serrano and with currymayonaise

We ate these dates as an appetizer in Menorca and liked it so much that we took the recipe home. Have a look at our Mallorca/Menorca travel guide to see where we tried them.
