MENU: Spring Sunday Supper

Wine Pairing: 2005 Marcarini Fontanazza Dolcetto d’Alba

Starter

White-Cheese Pizza with Ramps
Ramps, a pungent spring plant, are wild onions with a delicious garlicky flavor.

Main Course

Skate with Mushrooms and Hazelnuts
This luscious dish is deceptively simple: skate stuffed with duxelles, a mixture of mushrooms and shallots, served alongside creamed spinach.

Side Dishes

Oven-Braised Chickpeas and Merguez with Yogurt and Mint
The inspiration for this dish came from the Middle East, where spiced lamb and yogurt are often combined. Here, merguez, a North African sausage, provides the spiced-meat flavor.

Steamed Leeks with Mustard-Shallot Vinaigrette
Leeks, the sweetest members of the onion family, are a perfect match for this tangy mustard vinaigrette.

Dessert

Chocolate-Macadamia Tart
The maple syrup in this tart lightens the chocolate flavor and creates an ethereal custard to hold buttery macadamias.
