We had a delicious dinner last night at Fin’s – a southern Portuguese dish – cataplana- local seafood and potatoes poached in a saffron and star anise broth. We shared a lemon myrtle and native finger lime pannacotta and a chocolate dessert. The lemon myrtle taste was good. According to his recipe book, this chef uses lemon myrtle a lot – both as a substitute for lemongrass in savoury dishes and lemon in sweet. I did not know what a finger lime is. Apparently it looks like a finger and can be used in different ways. In the pannacotta we had, the insides of the lime were scrapped out and made into a syrup. It looked like pink fish roe but tasted a bit tart and sweet. It was lovely.
I have one more day before I go back to Brisbane. I am not buying any more time on the internet here.
