i attempted a new recipe today something that i had had in a restaurant and thought i could make at home!
it was taglieatellie(?sp) with salmon and a white wine, dill and cream sauce.
i poached the salmon in very weak veg stock. then made the sauce by reducing a large glass of white wine, with fresh dill, squeeze of lemon and then double cream. i added plenty of balck pepper to taste. flaked the salmon into that sauce brought it to a simmer and then simmered it for about 5-10 minutes. mixed it with the cooked fresh tag and served.
dh put more black pepper on. kids ate it with bread.
the kids ate it without comment. but i could see dh wasn't too keen. i tucked in and the first mouthful tasted ok, the second ok too and then it hit me i couldn't eat anymore it was too bland, disgusting, couldn't even chew it with out heaving. when i stood up to throw it in the bin, dh admitted he too was struggling, but hadn't wanted to offend me as i had made such an effort.
where did i go wrong why was it so bland,, i've racked my brains and raided my cookbooks, but can't see anything that i have missed, bar ringing the restaurant and asking them what they put in it.
any suggestions?
