Zafferano
Rabbit Stew is a time-honoured dish that is a dinner staple for Chef Marco Guccio and his family during the cold season in Italy. Now, you’ll be able to savour this classic winter stew at Zafferano. The stufato di coniglio is made by first searing the meat over high heat, cooking it with onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms and fresh herbs, then simmering it with olives, white wine and tomato sauce at a gentle heat for 45 minutes. The result is a perfect amalgamation of rich flavours and succulence that is the epitome of Christmas.
Available upon request in the month of December. Orders are required to be made at least two days in advance.
Song Of India
Chef Manjunath Mural draws inspiration from his youth for Song of India’s 5-course Christmas Celebration Feast that reflects the multicultural dishes in India: “I hope to create the same memories of warmth and homeliness that I experienced in my youth during this month.” India’s rich spices and flavours take centre stage in the Tandoori Turkey Kebab, Stuffed Turkey Roulade, and Kashmiri Wazwan Slow-Roasted and Smoked Baby Leg of Lamb. The lamb is immersed in a series of spices then marinated overnight with yoghurt and mustard, before it is pot-roasted and grilled in the oven the next day. Accompanied by a medley of broccoli, peppers and potatoes infused with Indian spices then drizzled with a traditional onion and cashew sauce, it is a hearty dish set on the Christmas dining table.
Available for dine-in and takeaway from 18-26 December.
