Starter
Green Asparagus, Romesco and Idiazabal Cheese
Served on a bed of intense romesco sauce (with enough left over for you to enjoy just about anything dipped or lathered in it for days to come), the asparagus in this dish is perfectly cooked to keep its vibrant colour and finished off with a creamy hit of Spanish Idiazabal cheese.
Main course
Pork Belly and Mojo Verde
For your main course, this hearty recipe brings together the richness of pork belly with the herby freshness of mojo verde.
Side dish
Creamy Mashed Potato and Chard
Made using the holy trinity of butter, cream and olive oil, this mashed potato side brings warmth and sustenance to the table.
Lemon Sorbet
Nieves serves her citrus sorbet the traditional Spanish way, in hollowed lemons. Vibrant and refreshing, it is the perfect lighter end to a rich and complex meal.
