February 2015

Every meal begins with a selection of cured meats and cheeses.  

Meat and Cheese Board

The first course was a selection of roasted onions (cippolini, shallots, spanish), spicy peanuts, chimichurri sauce, and manchego cheese.

First Course

The second course was a preparation of burrata.  Here it is with pickled grapes, roasted garlic, basil, and balsamic vinegar, along with sourdough toast for the guests to make their own crostini.

Second Course

The third course was a beet salad.  The red and golden beets are roasted, and served atop a schmear of cream cheese.  Topped with cucumbers, sesame seeds, salmon roe, bagel croutons, and micro arugula.

Third Course

The fourth course was a roasted cauliflower soup.  The soup is topped with pomegranate, feta cheese, and a mint oil.

Fourth Course

The fifth course was a fish dish.  It was sautéed bay scallops with roasted fennel and a duo of citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit).  The dish is topped with a lemon pistachio vinaigrette, and fresh basil and parsley.

Fifth Course

The sixth course was a pasta course.  Gnochhi is served in brown butter sage sauce, with eggplant, pancetta, and roasted peppers.  The dish is finished with fresh parsley and basil and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

Sixth Course

The last dish of the night was a tribute to the Philly Roast Pork Sandwich.  It is pork belly on top of creamed broccoli rabe,  with a hot pepper relish, and provolone crisps.
