This will be the very last appearance here of the three ‘heads’ of puntarelle that I purchased last Wednesday exactly one week ago as I write this, and which I eventually included in 4 nights of meals (9 servings) before exhausting its wonderful bounty with 2 different recipes. A great vegetable. two or three roughly …

scallops, lemon, bronze fennel; tomato, pericón; puntarelle
Dinner was a cinch. I really went pretty basic with the scallops this time, the tomato was almost as minimal, and the puntarelle have almost become something I could do in my sleep. But I did manage to include a tiny (edible) bouquet on the plate (a last minute inspiration). eleven sea scallops (14 ounces …
dolphin, leek, chili, micro scallion; tomato, mint; puntarelle
Paul wanted me to go home with the sea robin, which was actually less than half the price of the dolphin he was selling. Speaking as my fishmonger, he said that by cooking and then writing about it on this food blog I might be able to expand the market for a very under-appreciated fish, …
saucisson, tomato; fennel-crusted tuna; puntarelle; spirits
He was visiting New York from London so we were delighted to be able to invite him to dinner last night. Until then, while we had only known John through Twitter, we had come to feel of him as a friend. On occasions like this I usually try to serve something I can prepare almost …
raab/pork sausage, mustard; potato, pericón; puntarelle
It may be looking a bit less like summer around here, but nothing in the image above is really not a summer thing. Sunday night we were able to enjoy, for the first time, a fresh sausage created by some venders new to the Union Square this year. I also managed to have come up …
marinated grilled swordfish; heirloom tomato; puntarelle
I bought more swordfish than I really should have, because, while the individual steaks at the fishers’ stall yesterday were really too large for one, they would have been even less satisfactory for two, especially for two of us who really love swordfish. Warren, who works the stall and is also one of the fishermen, …
emmer reginetti with puntarelle, capers, lemon; melon, lime
It had been a tough day, with both of us at home again, trying to not stress out while a handful of guys were busy both inside the apartment and on the roof garden just outside, installing a split-system AC system [yes!]. Although they were finished and gone by the end of the afternoon, it …
marinated grilled swordfish; tomatoes, thyme; puntarelle
The excellent swordfish and the luscious tomatoes were terrific side dishes for the puntarelle, a huge hit with both Barry and myself last night; it was probably the best we’d ever had at home. two thick 7.5-ounce swordfish steaks from American Seafood Company in the Union Square Greenmarket, halved, marinated for more than half …
pigeon toasts; spicy mushroom/pigeon sauce on puntarelle
This meal included many of the same players we enjoyed in a much more ambitious meal the night before. It was a small triumph of home economics,* and the ingredients made it nearly as delicious as they had the first time around. It was also dramatically easier to put together. The dinner began with an appetizer which utilized the offal …
wild boar sausage, boiled potato, leeks; Roman puntarelle
I would have picked a sausage from Schaller & Weber, since I love patronizing that wonderful Yorkville German food emporium, and Barry was going to be up there in the afternoon, but I was thinking of this as an Italian meal, mostly because of the puntarelle I wanted to serve, so it was the turn of …
