We've got what you need to keep your troops happy this Fourth of July. Of course we have lots of mozzarella, prosciutto, salami, white balsamic and pasta for your caprese salad, pasta salad and appetizer spread. Additionally we have new items to tempt you with:
Seafood Salad (Frutti di Mare) We gently cooked shrimp, calamari and scallops from Captain's Ketch in Easton with lemon juice, parsley and olive oil for a simple and fresh appetizer. Look for it in the fridge next to the ready to eat dinners.
Pesto Chicken Salad is here to stay! We've been featuring our Pesto Chicken Salad on and off the special lunch menu as we've been tinkering with the recipe. We think we've got it down now so you can enjoy it as a salad, a panino, or in a container to go. [Please note that it is made with our basil pesto which contains pine nuts and grated cheese]
Smoked Pancetta from Fra Mani is ready to eat or delicious to cook with. Personally, I like to eat it in a sandwich or as is on a meat platter. It's lightly smoky, tender and nitrate free!
Salame Rosa from Fra Mani looks different from everything else we have in the deli case but it is 100% not scary. It is a cooked salami (roasted, in fact) that is made with course ground pork shoulder (where ham comes from). The meat is then mixed with chunks of fat, not unlike those used in mortadella. Fra' Mani says the fat comes from "high on the hog" so we infer that they meancheek jowl. In any case, it's like a cross between Parma cotto ham and Mortadella and that it a very good thing. We are always happy to slice you a sample if you're intrigued. Salami Etna from Olympia Provisions is totally unique in its seasoning. It is made by hand with a mixture of pork, lemon zest and pistachios (!) in Oregon. We are all in awe of how good this new salami is. O'Bannon from Capriole in Indiana is a goat cheese that is wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. The cheese gets a little kick from the bourbon but still remains sweet and fresh inside. The best way to eat one is by untying the straw, unwrapping the leaves and then digging in!
As always, call ahead if you know what you need! See you at Piazza, Emily
