street food | Soul Food Project

We’re always keen to push things forward at SFP HQ, so we’re really excited to announce the arrival of ‘Holy Trinity Events’ to our family.

Holy Trinity Events specialises in street food catering that focuses on ‘destinational cooking’…This is to say we focus on the culture of world cities as well as their cuisine, taking in their unique approach to drinks, music and entertainment.

So whether it be the Pizza bars of Naples, the road side Jerk Chicken BBQ’s of Kingston, the beer and burger vibes of NYC or even the pop up hot dog vendors across Berlin, we’ll aim to recreate your perfect holiday experience in your back yard, office or function.

Not only can we offer bespoke food packages, but we’re also able to design and match drinks and entertainment to your party….Some examples? OK, how about a Jerk chicken BBQ, with homemade sexy juice, punch and ice cold red stripe with one of our DJ’s playing reggae and ska spanning the decades? Or Pizzas, Peroni and Prosecco ??

We can tailor our packages to meet any budget and occasion and we like a challenge, so if you’d like to discuss options, fire an email over to matt@holytrinityevents.com

From running things at Soul Food project and Secret Dining Society, our chefs have seen and produced weird, wacky and wonderful menus from around the world.

But a few weeks ago saw us put together a couple of menus for a private party (as part of our new catering side project Holy Trinity Events) that had the sense of theatre that we try and create with SFS and the straight up,simply good soulful food of SFP.

When telling the kitchen brigade at the beginning of the week what was needed from the markets, their faces lit up as the menu unraveled…….Homemade bagels, Salmon gravlax, pastrami, several different types of hummus, all washed down with an earl gray gin punch and lavender cocktails “served on the lawn don’t you know”

The idea for the bagels came from my recent trip to new York, seeing the Jewish area of lower east side Manhattan and visiting the famous Katz’s Deli…..Armed with menus, recipes and a head full of inspiring ideas, the bagel bar concept came into fruition.

On top of the bagel bar, one of the main dishes we were buzzing about cooking was the Salmon Gravlax…. A traditional Swedish dish where salmon is cured with salt, lemon, fresh dill & covered to cure.

Traditionally this would be buried under ground, (hence the name), but now a ‘days you don’t need to worry about that, we have fridges and weights/water bottles/bricks wrapped cling film

Here’s my version….

Produces 30 bagels / salads

1 side of salmon

6tbl of rock salt

2 zest of lemons

1 tbp sugar

6bulbs of fresh peeled beetroot

Loads Fresh dill

5 black pepper corns

From you fishmongers get them to fillet and pin bone your salmon (but leave the skin on). Place in a large flat tray skin side down.

In a blender place all other ingredients and give a quick blitz. Place it on to the salmon and rub it in to salmon lightly, covering all the pink bits.

Place cling film on the salmon and place your chosen weights (or if you chooses to bury, then wrap well ) leave in a fridge/underground for a good 48hours. Remove from the fridge, and wipe all of the marinade off the Salmon, remove skin and slice nice and thinly.

Eat!!!!

For the party we went classic and served with fresh dill, cream cheese on a freshly cooked Bagel and a squeeze of lemon.
