It was another round of fish with mushrooms, although it was different fish and different mushrooms (also different vegetable). It was, almost, the same simple, excellent recipe, and it was at least as delicious as the first time up. four 3-ounce black sea bass fillets from Pura Vida Fisheries, seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper, …

mackerel, mushrooms, herbs; cucumber, tarragon, scallion
I was at the Pura Vida fish display cases. The mackerel were beautiful, so I hardly hesitated before choosing them for our entrée on Friday night. Then Paul told me that, just 2 stalls down, Joe Rizzo had some beautiful Boletus mushrooms. I’m not an expert, but even I knew that sounded pretty special. I love mushrooms, but …
cod with mushrooms; cress with wild garlic; yellow tomato
‘Pan-Seared Cod with Mushrooms’: It’s a fascinating recipe, but I have to append a bold note to my copy: ‘do not try this again unless you really do have low-sodium stock.’ I can’t say I wasn’t warned, since the instructions had made it very clear; it’s just that I haven’t yet been able to locate …
nettle tagliolini, ramp fruit, oyster mushroom, basil
I was originally not going to write about this meal. Even though it would seem to have been a good candidate for publication, if for no other reason than its modest exoticism on these shores, I wasn’t feeling well while I was putting it together, and I didn’t think much better of it once I was done. I think I …
seared duck; mushroom marsala; roasted la ratte; cabbage
It seemed like a great excuse to modify what has long been my routine preparation of seared duck breast. I had some mushrooms left over from the night before, and combining them with the duck seemed like a fine idea. The execution however wasn’t perfect for either duck or mushrooms, nor for one of the …
orecchiette, mushroom, shishito, mustard, parmesan, chive
It was going to be pasta, and I had a few ounces of oyster mushrooms left from the meal prepared the night before. To show off the mushrooms better, Barry and I both decided that a good conventional wheat pasta might be better this time than one made with a vegetable, or a more-strongly flavored …
pink mushroom/tomato/black sesame flounder; asparagus
It was wonderful. And it tasted as spectacular as it looks. Interestingly, it was assembled with huge portions of serendipity. The first thing I did at the Union Square Greenmarket yesterday was buy the second-last bunch of the first asparagus I had seen this season, inside the first farmer’s stall just inside the entrance. My …
fluke, mushroom, herb; amaranth; paprika-roasted parsnip
It was definitely winter (the parsnips we enjoyed were purchased from a stand in the greenmarket during a snowstorm), so last night’s meal wasn’t going to look like something from last July. (the Berkshire Berries table on the afternoon when I bought the parsnips) But many of the same fish we enjoy in the summer are …
scallops, mushroom, shallot, habanada; micro beet; mizuna
I had just picked up the scallops when I spotted the mushrooms. They were irresistible, so I decided they would join the shellfish for dinner. I already had some beautiful purple mizuna at home that I had picked up on Friday from some of my favorite farmers, just returned to the Greenmarket after being away for the winter. And so …
balsamic lamb salad; chestnut fusilli, mushroom sauce
The antipasto included the lamb that remained from an earlier meal, now at room temperature, more mellow and sweet than when it had just been cooked and still warm (for what it is worth, the little roast was too small to allow me to make neat thin slices, so it looks rather chopped up here). …
