July Featured Dish

June 26th, 2008 by Mark Bodenstein

Pickling spice rubbed hake, cucumber noodles, jam-berry relish, cilantro mustard.
This particular dish takes me back to my child hood eating fresh cucumber salads that my grandmother made with fresh cilantro, sugar, ver-jus blanc, and spices. I have taken that idea made noodles with the cucumber for a refreshing light take on pasta, rubbed the fish in the spices from my grand mother, and finished the dish with cilantro mustard to create a small sauce on the plate, to round the dish off with some spicy element I did jam berry relish with green chilies. This dish is light, hot, cold and refreshing with the hot weather. The dish will pair perfect with the White Knight Viognier.

Featured Dish: Pan Roasted Scallops

May 10th, 2008 by Mark Bodenstein

Our featured entrée this month is the pan roasted scallops with curried sun choke barigoule & kumquat relish.

In this dish I am combining the richness of an artichoke stew with the sweet spicyness of thai inspired curry, and contrasting the dish with the tartness of a kumquat relish. We were trying to combine all flavors of spicy, sweet, sour, salty and bitter all in one dish at the same time playing on the hot and cold side of things, hot scallops with cold relish. This dish hopefully touches all areas of the pallet.
