What’s New in the Kitchen at Dino?
Updated June 24, 2009

 

We have some really nice stuff in for specials this weekend:

Faraona {guineahen} - another shipment of French Dressed, never cryovacced birds {what a difference that makes!} from Grimaud arriving Monday. Breasts pan roasted medium rare starting Thursday with a rustic sauce from Guineahen stock followed by the legs and thighs wrapped in pancetta and braised in red wine. These birds are lean, richly flavored without being gamy.

Greek Anchovies - these will be polenta crusted and fried. Just 5 pounds available, about 15 orders. On the menu sunday..

Black Raspberries {from Heyser's Farm in Silver Spring} - simply amazing. Served over vanilla gelato with old balsamico or as sorbetto.

One more (last?} batch of Asparagus - I got a call from one of our organic suppliers: did I want the 30 pounds of local asparagus they just got in unexpectedly? Yep! Wrapped in prosciutto, long cooked in cream on Tagliatelle or as part of our grilled veggies. While others may use Asparagus trucked in from California or Mexico year round, we leave asparagus off the menu unless it is local.

Happy eating!
