Swine and cheese dinner

For Sunday we had a group of good friends over for a meal. It has been a long time since I was able to spend the day putting together a nice dinner without being totally rushed and feeling like what I was putting out wasn't going to be up to par. For the theme I  had originally planned on just showcasing the cheeses I brought back from Toronto. It morphed into the "Swine and Cheese" dinner. Each course had a cheese component and a pork component.

The menu was as follows:
Greek style Chorizo and raw milk cheddar quiche with Romaine salad with Buche Cabri (Raw goat milk cheese) and black cherry glazed Canadian Bacon. (Pictured)

Pork tenderloin stuffed with Triple Cream Brie, rubbed with apple mushroom paste and wrapped in puff pastry. Green beans with butter and Pepita. Roasted purple sweet potatoes with garlic.

Dark chocolate goat cheese ice cream with maple candied bacon.

It seemed to go over well.
