A Motley Meal

Our recent meat binge has us craving vegetable delights. We disregard menu cohesion for a mixed-up meal of old faves and new creations. The centerpiece is a recipe from Dosia's childhood- Creme of Jalapeno Soup. A spicy mixture of pureed vegetables and monteray jack cheese topped with a green sauce of roasted serrano, garlic and cilantro has her nostalgic for her father's fresh-from-the-garden peppers.

Ben's contribution: Shredded sweet potatoes in brown sage butter which were quick and so delicious.
Also Ben's: pizza with homemade marinara, mozzarella, zucchini and artichoke - the perfect dipping tool for the soup. Of couse, we only put the vegetables on half the pizza to accommodate the small children in our family (Adam Wilson).


Fennel salad with asparagus and cauliflower, tossed in a dressing of anchovies, lemon, mustard, olive oil, garlic and egg yolk. The final plate.
