Here's the menu for Tuesday, September 30th. The last of the local Castella-grown tomatoes will be coming in this week and I don't want to miss them! I will use them as the base of this classic Moroccan meatball tagine. The combination of stewed fresh tomato with peppers, onions and garlic is similar to Tunisian "shakshuka,"  of which I'm a huge fan!
   
Moroccan Meatball Tagine-
Little meatballs of spiced organic chicken, simmered in a stew of fresh local tomatoes, roasted peppers, harissa, garlic and olive oil, served with yogurt and chopped fresh herbs.

Here's the menu for Tuesday 9/16. It's been a while since we have offered this entree, mostly because it's so difficult to make! We are ready to brave the arduous process once again, layering fillo dough for hours on end, to bring you our Spanakopita Pie :)  It's really delicious and nourishing, and I can't think of many other dishes that pack so many organic greens into each yummy bite. For dessert, I tried to tie in the flavors of fall with our Mediterranean menu... I'm thinking the spices in Turkish coffee meet roasted organic pumpkin = Pumpkin Spice Brownies! And I can't help but to finish them with a cream cheese swirl.

Here's the menu for this Tuesday, 9/9!

Caribbean Jerk Chicken Bowl- 
Free range boneless chicken breast and thigh, marinated with jerk seasoning: a classic Jamaican flavor profile with allspice, green onion, brown sugar and chilies. The recipe I'm using has a bit of Guinness, ginger and lime juice as well.  It's a little spicy, but I can make a completely mild version upon request. The base of the bowl will be Jamaican "rice and peas" which is basically a fragrant coconut rice simmered with red beans. Toppings will include organic avocado, pineapple salsa, and rainbow slaw of carrots, cabbage & multicolored peppers.

Strawberry Mango Trifle- 
organic mangos, peaches and strawberries with chunks of vanilla cake and whipped cream.

Here's the menu for this Tuesday, September 2!

Peruvian Chicken with Aji Verde Sauce-
Organic chicken leg and thigh marinated with citrus and garlic, roasted and served with creamy, spicy aji verde sauce on the side. The sauce is flavored with aji amarillo peppers, cilantro & lime. You can drizzle it over the chicken and the potatoes to your liking.

Roasted Potatoes & Yams-
Organic red potatoes and Garnet sweet potatoes, roasted with olive oil & salt.

Criolla Salad-
Salsa Criolla is a much loved Peruvian side. We are making a salad of organic tomato & pickled red onion in the style of Salsa Criolla. We'll be getting some local tomatoes again this week!

Here is the menu for Tuesday, August 19. Now is the time for tomatoes, melons and figs, and I can't wait to incorporate them into this week's menu! I think this salad will be the perfect vehicle, pairing Maywood Farms' figs with muskmelon, adding fresh mozzarella, some chicken breast for protein, a little prosciutto and a sprinkle of dukkah: Dukkah is an Egyptian blend of finely chopped, toasted nuts & seeds, including pistachios, pumpkinseeds, sesame & coriander. We are lucky enough to have great tomatoes grown right here in Castella. I'm using them to make a soup with only a few ingredients so that the tomato flavor can really shine.

Late Summer Salad with Figs, Melon and Organic Chicken-
Organic chicken breast, organic Mission figs & Charantais melon, with torn fresh mozzarella, dukkah, prosciutto & organic greens, honey-thyme vinaigrette.

Tomato Soup with Basil & Caramelized Garlic-

Japanese Potato Salad-
Similar to classic American potato salad but texturally different, made with organic russet potatoes, carrots, cucumber, rice vinegar, hard boiled eggs and kewpie mayo.

Spicy Watermelon Salad-
Yellow and pink watermelon with honey lime dressing, peanuts & hot chilies, garnished with fresh herbs and black sesame.

Tamale Pie is in the works for this Tuesday, August 5. We started making this at my mom's restaurant, Bellissimo, and I think I've made it almost everywhere else that I've worked since. It starts with a hearty black bean chili, simmered with tomato, onions & spices, which is topped with a layer of roasted corn-studded polenta, and baked with cheddar and jack cheeses. Sour cream and salsa will be included for garnish.  I'm excited to make homemade avocado ranch dressing with buttermilk & fresh herbs for a green salad, and I'm making the best gooey dark chocolate brownies for dessert.

Puttanesca Salad-
Inspired by the flavors of pasta Puttanesca, this salad is made with organic cherry tomatoes, roasted cubed eggplant, arugula & garbanzo beans with anchovy & red wine vinaigrette.

Here's a summertime dinner that you don't have to heat up! It contains all the good stuff from a Thai/Vietnamese summer roll, made into a big noodle salad with chicken, shrimp and veggies!

Summer Roll Salad-
This salad is fresh and beautiful, with lots of organic summer vegetables, minced organic chicken, shrimp and noodles, tossed with Vietnamese lime dressing (Nuoc Cham), garnished with crispy shallots and peanuts. Veggies include lettuces, nappa cabbage, rainbow carrots, different types of cucumber, multicolored peppers, fresh mint, basil and cilantro.  The noodles are yummy, chewy "dangmyeon" made from sweet potato starch so they are gluten free. I'll pack some hot green chilies on the side, for those of you that like some spice!
 
Passionfruit Mango Bars-
Baked in the style of a lemon bar but with mango-passionfruit curd and coconut oatmeal shortbread crust!
