In Southern California we are having a break for the intense heat of late and are now getting lots of low clouds and cool ocean winds.
The menu my client's have chosen for Monday is, a simple Italian "affair"..using great Summer fruits and vegetables:
Fresh Herbed cannellini beans with sourdough bread toast points & fresh lime
Country vegetable soup..celery, new potatoes, carrots, summer squash, peas, corn, finished with fresh tomatoes and basil in a good strong vegetable stock.
Eggplant and cheese bakes ( similar to an eggplant Parmesan, but using Mexican style cheese)
Zucchini & basil sauce .made with peeled fava beans with polenta & fresh lime
Sides:
Chickpea and celery w/red chili flakes
Cauliflower and kale with lemon
The the banana walnut waffles and a fresh fruit (black plum, and raspberry) fruit crumble
