back from an overdue trip to Sahadi's - here we have baba ganoush with paprika and olive oil, onion nan, a watercress, tomato and cucumber salad along with a made salad of orzo, peas, black beans and sweet corn
looks like an explosion: under is our favorite mackerel (from the CO-OP) with a bit of mayo and white wine vinegar on toast; on top - watercress, cucumber, red onion, sliced jalepeño along with caper berries and pickle
seems to be a variation on lunch from 11.11 but different - from the bottom: 7 grain bread, spinach, lentils, avocado, sautéed chicken and some of our new habanaro mayo all go together for some ungainly, but delicious eating along with stacey's naked pita chips - always good
today we have Michael McDevitt (of Illegal Art) visit for lunch - and there's a lot going on on the plate: sautéed chicken with sage and a mustard dressing, french lentils and a salad of spinach, endive, thin sliced shallot, sunchokes and toasted pine nuts.
fresh mozzarella, prosciutto di Parma with some of chef Matt's red pepper jelly, on toasted integrale wholewheat bread (from Eataly!) and a spinach, sliced shallot and tomato salad
a full plate of - avocado on toasted wholewheat baguette, ham, delicious black (edible) charcoal rind sheep/cow cheese that we got from the New Amsterdam mkt at Fulton St, arugula salad and the sweet/hot red pepper jelly from chef Matt
simple enough - bresaola, mozzarella, tomato, an arugula salad, wholewheat baguette and a tomato soup. A nice olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of toasted cumin and coriander brings it all to life
another day for soup and a sandwich - this time we have cashew carrot ginger soup and broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella with a smear of anchovy paste on fresh ciabatta
we cooked some extra tilapia in order to have these delicious 'taco' type things using wholewheat tortillas with red onion, cucumber, tomato jalepeña and some extremely hot chili and mexican jalepeña paste
still on the sandwich run - mozzarella and prosciutto cotto from di Palo's, big slice of heirloom tomato from the farmer's mkt and arugula on pane francese with artichoke paste - tasty
at first glance, a pretty average looking sandwich - but this was really good! red, yellow and white chard, dressed with olive oil and balsamic, pecorino con foglie di noce (wrapped in walnut leaves) and bresaola on a wholewheat bun
