How to make the perfect Roulade

So how do we create our famous Chicken Bacon Roulade you ask? Its all in the preparation! 

- Layer your bacon strips in a row on a sheet of cling wrap.

- Give your Chicken breast a smash, using a handy tenderizer

- Chop your dates into fine pieces and mix with creamy danish feta

- Pop your flattened chicken breast on the already packed bacon strips

- Take your delicious date and feta mix and line it on the chicken

- Carefully roll your roulade to make a tight cylinder and tie the end bits of the cling wrap with string.

- Now take your perfect bundles of goodness for a jacuzzi in a pot of boiling water and let them relax for 20 minutes

- Once they've relaxed enough, take the cling wrap off and place in an greased baking tray, cook for a further 20 minutes

And voila! Chicken Bacon Roulade! 

Add a sauce or collect a take-away of our Famous Ke-Monate Sauce for added yumminess!

Enjoy

Wine Enthusiast Workshop

With the main focus veering away from the better known Bordeaux- and Rhone-style blends, we’ll be looking at a few interesting creations from across the globe.  Blended wines offer more complexity than single varietal wines. In fact, some of the world's greatest wines are made from a blend of grapes rather than a single varietal.

By blending varietals, winemakers can change a wine's qualities and be more expressive and creative.
Cape Wine Master Charl van Teijlingen will start the evening with an in-depth discussion followed by an intuitive blind tasting of ten wines or more and a delectable three course meal prepared by Ke-Monate Restaurant.

   Date: 23 September

   Time: 18:30 for 19:00

   Place: Ke-Monate Restaurant

   Cost: R230 per person

   Bookings essential: functions@signalgun.com

This month our featured artist is PC van Rensburg.

PC van Rensburg was born in Cape Town in 1955 and studied at the School of Architecture, University of Pretoria. He has been a practising architect for the past 30 years. As an artist he does large oil on canvas paintings and has participated in numerous group art exhibitions in Cape Town over the last 12 years. Several of his works have been auctioned for charity.

Chef Natalia's Recipe of the Month

My love affair with bread and butter pudding did not start until I started working in the UK, where this dish was a big crowd pleaser. The possibilities of this simple, but delicious dessert fired up my imagination and it did not take me long to start experimenting with different flavours, for example citrus or mixed berry – but I really hit the taste jackpot when I created my chocolate bread and butter pudding. My secret is a sprinkle of hot chocolate powder in between the slices of bread. Simple and effective.

Wine Tasting and Dinner Evening for August

Our August and September wine tasting and dinner evenings will unfortunately have to be cancelled due to the fact that, our speaker, Dr Charl van Teijlingen is having a back operation. He will be back for the October tasting. We wish all the best and a speedy recovery.

Warm Up at Ke-Monate this winter

Cold? Miserable? Hiding away under your duvet…? Come out to Ke-Monate! We have a fireplace, delicious food and wine which is sure to warm you up and take you to your happy place…

Wine Tasting & Dinner Evening

Ever hear the term "Cracking a bottle of Port"? At our June wine tasting and dinner evening we did just that. Charl van Teijlingen (local winemaster and tasting presenter) has special Port cracking tongs he brought along to show us how it is done.

The tongs were heated in the fireplace until extremely hot and we all watched in fascination as he clasped the bottle around the neck and kept it there for a while…will it burst, crack or break..? Then he casually took a damp cloth and simply snapped the top bit of the neck off!! The only ‘downside’to this method of opening a bottle of Port, is that you will have to finish it… dear oh dear! :)

Due to the school holidays, we will not be having our monthly wine tasting and dinner club this month, but it will continue in August. Be sure not to miss it! Also please be warned that these evenings are becoming increasingly popular, so early reservations are essential.

Chef Natalia’s Recipe of the Month

This Lamb curry recipe was taught to me by a chef that I met when I was working at the British Boutique Best Western Hotel. On my first day, he told me to make the best lamb curry that I knew. Keen to be challenged, I said sure, no problem. After he tasted it, he said it was good, but missing a key ingredient.

I added that specific ingredient and to my surprise, the curry was not just better, it was magnificent! I will not reveal what the key was but I’ll let you have a clue…it’s an item on this recipe’s list of ingredients. If you can’t figure it out, you’ll just going to have to come taste it at the restaurant!

Happy cooking!!
