Summer Solstice Family Style Dinner
June 21, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$29We always honor the official changing of seasons with special menus, and are excited to honor the coming of summer in Chicago! Come share a meal around the table with new friends, and enjoy a nice casual mid-week vegan meal.
We’ll be featuring 4-courses of wonderful late spring veggies, as well as using some of the early summer offerings as well.
This meal is an all inclusive (no tax, no tip!) $29, there is an option for a gluten free dinner, and reservations can be made here.
That said, here’s a look at the menu we’ll be serving this evening:
Fingerling Potato Salad with Sorrel Pesto and Walnuts
We’ll roast fingerling potatoes from Iron Creek Farms, chill them, and toss them with a pesto made with fresh sorrel from Armstrong Farms. Last week Sandbox Organics had some nice chive blossoms we could use as a garnish as well! A classic potato salad with the fresh untamed flavors of late spring and early summer.
Penne Pasta, Cashew Mozzarella, Tomato, Lemon, Pine Nuts, Basil, and Almond Parmesan
When I was first learning to cook, this was one of my favorite dishes to make. A nice chilled pasta dish is so refreshing when it’s warm out, and the nice acidity from freshly squeezed lemon gives this dish a wonderful lift. Having nice tomatoes, our fresh cashew mozzarella, pine nuts, and basil makes for an addictive combination.
