Salmon with Samosa Hash & Fresh Coriander Yogurt Sauce
We all love samosas, the potato and vegetable stuffed pastries you find at Indian restaurants. Some time ago, when we served brunch, our Chef Ben Bullock, was inspired to make a hash out of the samosa filling. It was a great success and Chef Jarrod believed it would be a perfect accompaniment to grilled salmon. I would have to agree. The warmly spiced hash is studded with cauliflower, peas and spinach and the salmon is sauced with yogurt that’s been spiked with a bright, fresh coriander(cilantro) chutney. Perfect for this time of year when you’re not sure if it’s going to be warm or chilly outside!

Pork Jezebel
It’s back, and better than ever. Slices of pork tenderloin are gently pounded into cutlets, salt and peppered, and seared on the hot griddle, then plated and spooned with our version of jezebel sauce, the tastiest thing in the world. In Texas, jezebel is peach jam spiked with horseradish and mustard. They pour it over a block of cream cheese and serve it with crackers. Here we add a glug of heavy cream to our homemade fresh peach jezebel, and in a few minutes on the stove it becomes a warm and heavenly sauce for pork. Served with our buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
