New Year, New Food!

Crusted Tuscan Shrimp on Cannelini Beans & Baby Spinach w/ Grilled Polenta & Harissa

We had our 1 year anniversary at the restaurant and celebrated it for a whole week. I was a bad blogger and had no time for taking pictures on New Year's Eve. (Spankings are much deserved.) We were in the weeds all night and if it wasn't for the Oyster Bar, everything would have gone a little smoother. But despite all that, the night was a success and the community reached out to our little 50 seat restaurant to give us some love.

Up and coming dishes are popping on the Menu for this year. Here's a sneak preview...

Herb Grilled Pork Chop on Apple Risotto & Baby Spinach w/ Saffron Dijon Cream

Morroccan Steak on Sauteed Confetti Orzo w/ Piemontese Caper & Basil Puree

Indian Spiced Rack of Lamb w/ Paprika Cilantro Oil & Herb Crusted Potatoes

I hope you all had as great a New Year's Eve as I did. I'll Post again soon with another Duck Blog to further explor it's many uses.

Herb Grilled Porkchop w/ Saffron Dijon Sauce, Caramelized Apple Risotto, Wilted Spinach and Anise Scented Dried Apple

Here's a throwback even your Grandma will understand, reminiscent of the famous casserole of porkchops and rice she used to make. A fantastic Bone-In Porkchop rubbed with rosemary, sage and garlic. The sauce is a light cream and white wine reduction with shallot and saffron. For the Risotto I caramelized apple dices in sugar and apple cider vinegar with shallot and parmesan cheese. Also, simply wilted, a handful of baby spinach leaves in butter. Enjoy!
