We had another excellent dinner at Mezza in Westwood, NJ. We shared several appetizers including a very refreshing yellowfin tuna tartar with avocado and chopped mango, crispy Moroccan cigar stuffed with braised short ribs, and our third grilled octopus of the weekend. This version contained baby arugula, fennel, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and olives, in a mint labne.
For entree’s I had the short ribs special with asparagus, carrots, and crispy shallots in an awesome red wine sauce with celery and carrots. Mrs. P had sautéed branzino with tomatoes, spinach, capers, olives, and fingerling potatoes, in a sherry wine and lemon sauce. It all went great with LePlan Cotes Du Rhone.
