SPECIALTY ITEMS
CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA
Indian inspired, this dish was invented in Great Britain. Tandoori chicken cooked in a delicious tomato based sauce with beautiful Indian spices, such as curry and cardamom. This is a much leaner version, as I use Greek Yoghurt instead of the traditional cream. Served over Basmati rice.
Chef's Suggestions
Cook some basmati or brown rice. I love adding butter instead of oil, as it perfuse the rice beautifully.
On the side –
- for toppings, I love having little bowls of any or all of the following: chopped cilantro, toasted coconut, toasted almonds, hot chili peppers
- make Raita by mixing one cup of plain or Greek yoghurt with 1/2 cup of chopped Persian or English cucumbers. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- serve with warm Indian Naan (many brands available at all stores now)
MOROCCAN VEGAN TAGINE
Another delicious vegan meal, where you will not miss the meat, if you are not vegan. Chickpeas, cauliflower & carrots in a Moroccan spiced sauce with olives, preserved lemons and dried apricots. Served over herbed couscous.
VEGAN TIKKA MASALA

FRENCH DUCK CONFIT CASSOULET
Originally, from Languedoc in the Southwestern region of France. My house made duck confit surrounded by a succulent long-simmering stew of white beans. For added decadence and flavor, I also add French duck and garlic sausages to this divine dish.
Chef's Heating/Serving Suggestions
**NOTE: Your Cassoulet is FULLY cooked. You are just heating it through.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Invert the cassoulet into a well- greased baking dish
- Place on a foiled sheet pan and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly
- In a small bowl, add the panko and a Tbs. of olive oil and mix well and sprinkle on top of cassoulet during the last 5-7 minutes. The Panko will absorb the duck fat and become golden and crispy
OPTIONAL: For extra crunch, you can add a little parmesan to the Panko
BON APPETIT. ENJOY!
