Olive & Vine

We took a break from Flavor this week when we saw that Olive & Vine's Wednesday night dinner was Cassoulet. Two courses for $25 and there was no corkage. We brought Terra d'Oro Zinfandel, which paired nicely with the Cassoulet.

Amuse Bouche--Cucumber with Olive Genovese

Field Greens with Roasted Pears, Shaft's Blue Cheese & Hazelnuts

Classic Cassoulet of Pork, Duck, Garlic Sausage, Ham Hock & Pancetta with White Beans & Aromatics, Garlic Breadcrumb Crust. This was a rich dish but I was only able to eat half of it. The vegetables were delicious--full of flavor. They were finished with butter but there was no hint of grease and they tasted like they were steamed in broth.

 

Mignardise--truffles.
