Dinner here with last night with Asya, maker of my most favored dishes and all around lovely person. Exciting to decide which dishes to go on her, uhhh, dishes, knowing she was actually going to be seeing them in action here in their new home! Served: a butter lettuce salad with red onion and green apple in one of my favorite dishes, her green apple colored bowl and baked eggplant and zucchini hollowed out and filled with moroccan spiced rice, pine nuts, raisins and apricots. For dessert were Italian pastries from Ferrara. You only live once.
Citron Vert Vinaigrette on
Butter Lettuce, Red Onion and Green Apple Salad (inspired by Asya's Dish)
-sea salt and pepper on bottom of bowl and add
-a teaspoon of dijon mustard and the juice of one lemon
whisk until smooth and add
-a quarter cup or so of good olive oil plus if you can find it,
a tablespoon of citron vert olive oil from here. Whisk.
-Wash and dry some nice soft tasting lettuce.
Slice very thin with a knife or better yet a mandoline
-some rounds of red onion and half an apple. Put in a beautiful bowl (preferably by Gleena).
