Iron Chef (sort of)

Recently we had some friends come over for a different style dinner party. We asked our guests to bring the food, but the catch was they were to only bring raw ingredients and they weren't allowed to tell me what they were bringing. I would cook it when they got to the house and revealed the ingredients. Below are the results.

This is a picture showing some of the ingredients that our friends brought.

First course: Sweet Potato Pancake with Dried Cranberries
topped with an Apple Slaw

Second Course: Braised Brussel Sprouts on Truffled Rice
garnished with julienne Peppers and shaved Radishes

Entree: Cast Iron Seared London Broil on Leek mashed Potatoes
Broccoli and Red Wine Sauce

I had soo much fun with this I am sure the theme will pop up again. This was a real challenge but everyone left very content.
