DINNER CLUB RECAP

Our recent Dinner Clubs have leaned toward the more healthy persuasion. I had to get us back on track with this Foccacia-Basa Sandwich, sweet potato fries, and chocolate brownie & port offering. There was a light broccoli salad with fresh walnuts and dried cherries to put something green on the table and throw off the veggie-lovers, but this dinner was all about the sandwich. Basa is a white, flakey, very mild flavored fish that, although called a "vietamese catfish", has a clean un-catfish-taste. It cooks easily and was served on a toasted foccacia bread with red onions, shreadded cabbage, pepper jack cheese, tarter sauce, capers, and a thin slice of tomato. The Broccoli salad had a mayonnaise, sugar, and white wine sauce with crushed fresh walnuts, dried cherries and crumbled bacon for the porkavours. The table shared a few bowls of sweet potato fries, pickle spears and several bottles of wine which helps out all my Dinner Clubs. The Nugget had fresh Basa and all other needed amenities for this DC.

  1. The fish sandwich was awesome! That was good outdoor springtime comfort food. I also really enjoyed the fresh grilled veggies you served for appetizers.
