Friday Food

Tapas:

  1. Mushrooms a ajillo

  2. Radish & apple salad

  3. White beans & chorizo


First attempt on the salad. Blanch a handful of fresh peas. Slice fuji apple, white and red radishes & stack slices. Slice additional apple & radish into matchsticks. Make vinagrette with olive oile, cider vinegar, cilantro. Toss matchsticks in vinagrette. Mix wasabi powder with lemon-flavored oil and apple cider vinegar, season with salt. Plate matchsticks alongside stacks. Garnish stacks with peas. Drizzle wasabi sauce over slices & serve. (The lemon oil is cool, but a little bit goes a *long* way--it actually overpowered the wasabi.)

Wine:

  1. Domain Jean Deydier et Fils 2000 Chateaneuf du Pape
