Wine: Pleiades XV Old Vines
The night before Thanksgiving we cooked at home. This will be our last post until we return from vacation. We are going to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia. We leave Sunday.
If I have time and energy you will be able to follow our travels Here.
For this dinner we decided to finally make the Pasta with Sausage and Rapini.
I had been waiting a few weeks for this. We wanted to use Sausage from
Fra'Mani. We had to wait for Chris at The Cheese Store of Silverlake to get it in. It finally arrived! We also picked up some great Aged Pecorino Cheese. That we used to top the pasta. Cathy combined to recipes for the pasta. One is from the Julia Child cookbook: Cooking with Master Chefs. In this case, Julia was cooking with Lydia Bastianich. They call the dish: Orecchiette with Broccoli di Rape and Sausages. The other recipe is from Chez Panise. A surprise to us was that the Broccoli d Rape from our neighborhood grocery store was excellent. We previously had purchased the Broccoli from the Hollywood Farmer’s Market.
We started with a Caesar Salad. As always we use the recipe from The Zuni Café Cookbook by Judy Rodgers. One of the great things about the salad is that she doesn’t have you cut the romaine leaves. Thus you have this salad with large leaves and you eat it by hand, no fork! It becomes very sensual. It is the best recipe and we always order it when we go to Zuni in San Francisco.
We will have some leftovers from this dinner!
