Robert and Darryl came by for dinner. We started with a favorite: Asparagus with Brown Butter, Burrata Cheese and Hazelnuts purchased from Mozza2Go. These are absolutely the best Hazelnuts in the city!
At Palate we had Sardines that were spectacular. They were imported from Spain: Matiz Gallego. They are harvested in Galacia. They are amazing. We asked Palate to sell us some and they sold us 13 cans.
We mentioned this to Robert and Darryl and they said they like Sardines. Cathy found a recipe for Sardine Pasta Sauce and we decided to make it and invite them. We mentioned we were making this sauce to our Tai Chi teacher, Michael, and he went wild discussing this sauce. It is a favorite of his. He said we should add fennel tops, raisins, pine nuts and wine to the sauce. We made it, it was strong and not surprisingly very sardine tasting. I doubt if we will make it again.
We did give the remainder of the sauce to Michael, who wound up loving it, and extending it to 3 more dinners. I am glad it found a home.
For dessert we bought a Lemon Meringue Cake from Proof, a new bakery near it us. We really like the bakery.
