October 3, 2012 Greenhouse Bistro and Bakery Italian Menu Preview

Suzette brought home the three special Italian dishes that will be served in the Greenhouse Bistro and Bakery (www.facebook.com/GreenHouseBistro.com) during the months of October through December in clear plastic food boxes.  I may not have their names exactly the same as on the menu, but they were a butternut squash stuffed ravioli garnished with sautéed cubes of butternut squash, the pork confit with cannelloni beans that we tested before and a sautéed boneless trout dusted in rice flour and served with linguine tossed with the green chili pesto that Suzette has created.

I opened a bottle of Concannon Pinot Grigio and made up plates from the boxes and heated them in the microwave for a simple dinner before the first Presidential debate. 

After the debate I chopped up a couple of slices of fresh Crenshaw melon from our garden and garnished them with blueberries for dessert.
