Last night Allison and I went to an Italian wine dinner at Mucca, an event that we always look forward to.
Now we know what the Roman feasts and orgies must have been like - total decadence and gluttony......................
Fortunately, the food was served family style so we tried to be careful not to take large portions.
This is an abbreviated version of the dinner:
(1) Organic greens, Gorgonzola, walnuts, pears...........etc.
(2) Roasted beets filled ravioli with brown butter sauce
(3) Pan roasted Draper Valley chicken breast with Marsala sauce
(4) Roasted squash and crispy Brussels sprouts with Madeira reduction
(5) Carlton Farm pork shoulder, demi-glace
(6) Crispy polenat with pan roasted wild mushrooms
(7) Housemade gnocchi with wild boar ragu
(8) Pan seared black cod
Piemonte wine was served to accompany the courses so it was a memorable dining experience. If you are in Portland, please check out this amazing restaurant. The chef/owner lived in Italy prior to coming to Portland and all of his food is authentic Southwest Italian and prepared with the finest ingredients.
