Cooking with West 10th Foods

With all this food shopping yesterday (see Discovering West 10th Foods), it was time to make use of at a BBQ.

Appetizers included delicious grilled local red peppers that I picked up at a small grocer on West 10th. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name, but it sure had excellent vegetables.

And then it was time to try those fancy sausages I bought from The Butcher.

The sausage options overwhelmed me, so I chose the Romanian Beef sausages. Dense layers of ground beef spiced up with cilantro seeds. The taste was unique alright, but it took a bit to get used to. I should have went for the dijon beef or lamb and mint ones. Next time.

At Pane Formaggio I picked up a small can of the Spanish Merula olive oil (not cheap, but sure a beautiful looking tin). Jardin lettuce was served but given varied guests' tastes, they were offered a choice of dressings:
1. Lemon and olive oil
2. Raspberry vinegar and olive oil
3. Lemon, garlic, dijon and olive oil


And finally, the Sacher cake from T Room Bakery was served. Decadent!
