Good Tuesday morning Chatham!

The mneu is staying pretty much the same this week. The rice salad gets a makeover. Red Bhutanese rice and french lentils, earthy and nutty are a delicious foil for roasted sweet potato, green beans, crunchy koklrabi, scallion and lots of herbs and toasted walnuts, all tossed together with a bright mustardy vinaigrette. Fall is a wondeful time to enjoy greens, beginning with Blue Star Farm spinach, chives and cheddar in this weeks quiche. The soup is filled with seasonal vegetables… the last of sweet summer tomatoes, zucchini, butternut squash, green beans, scarlet runner beans and escarole, simmered with parm rinds making for a warm and delicious bowl. Lasagne is layered with garlicky lacinato kale with summer tomato sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino, parmigiano. The salad this week is castlefranco radicchio and frisèe topped with sweet roasted beets, silky roasted peppers, cucumber, pickled onions, toasted farro with goat cheese, pistachio and shallot vinaigrette. In sandwich world, we’ve got Kinderhook Farm ham and gruyère with sweet butter, dijon and cornichon on baguette. A favorite from last season, apple & cheddar with Mimi’s chutney with endive on baguette makes for a delightful bite! Thumbprint cookie gets updated with toasted hazelnuts and raspberry jam. Scone is plum and einkorn flour. And lastly, apple snacking cake, along with a nice cuppa tea makes for a perfect afternoon pick me up!

Don’t forget yummy Via Ravioli for a speedy and delicious meal. Only 4 minutes in boiling water, simply dress with butter and some grated cheese or your favorite sauce. And as always, Mimi’s jams and preserves, Yundwel Farm fresh pastured eggs and Tribeca Bakery baguette.

Michael will be taking your calls beginning at 9am.

Have a lovely week!!
