For a Party of Six to Eight
1 or 2 garlic cloves, sliced
Kosher salt
¼ c heavy cream
¼ c Best Foods mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (use the real stuff)
1/3-cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Using a mortar and pestle (or the flat side of a chef’s knife) crush the garlic and a large pinch of kosher salt into a paste. Transfer the paste to a medium mixing bowl and whisk in the cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard until well blended. Slowly add the olive oil while whisking. Add the parsley and oregano, mix well and then season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
Bananas Foster for Four
¼ C (1/2 stick) butter
1C brown sugar
½ t cinnamon
¼ C banana liqueur
4 bananas cut in half lengthwise, then halved
¼ C rum
4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1. Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a sauté pan. Place the pan over medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves.
2. Carefully add the banana liqueur and the rum then place the bananas in the pan.
3. After the flames subside and the sauce has started to caramelize, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
No, we won’t be wearing lederhosen and Tyrolian hats. October is going to be an expression of the food and drink of Germany. We will be serving traditional German fare with our own unique twist and have brought in some wonderful German wine and German style wines to accompany these dishes.
Throughout autumn, we will offer an ever-changing assortment of German-style soups, entrees and desserts. Entree possibilities include jaegerschnitzel, rouladen, house-made wurst and sauerbraten.
