Chef Sam Recommends...
 


Luigi Bosca
Finca La Linda Torrontes 2007


Clear yellow-greenish color. Floral aromas related to rose globeflower and some lavender. The first impression in mouth is sweet with balanced acidity, white peaches are perceived and hints of sugar coated orange skin. Excellent balance between floral and fruity characteristics. Great with shrimp appetizers or fruit desserts

Do You Know......

How to select an artichoke:

Look for green or purple-tinged leaves that are as tight as a fist.
White or brown streaks indicate frost-bite or wind burn; they're edible, but not as pretty.

Place it in your hand; it should feel heavy for its size.
Squeeze it; the fresh leaves should squeak. If its spongy, put it back.
If the leaves or overly dry, splayed, or pitted, skip it.

Chef Sam's Most Requested Recipe :

Grilled Shrimp with Artichoke Pesto Appetizer
Serves 4


Chef Sam is not only self taught, but creates signature dishes with a “new-school” Italian flavor that are
beautifully displayed and memorably delicious! Here's a great dish that you can cook at your house!

 

 
 
8 jumbo shrimp (8-12 count)
2 large artichokes
1 cup fresh basil packed
1 clove garlic
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs pecorino romano cheese
1tbs grated parmesan cheese
bowl of cold water
1 lemon
  Procedure for artichokes:
Cut lemon in half, squeeze half in bowl of cold water, set other half aside. Cut 1/2 inch off top of artichoke and either cut off stem or peel it. Pull outer leaves off until you reach the tender center leaves. Remove fibrous part of artichoke and place in bowl of water to preserve until ready to use.

Procedure for pesto:
Cut hearts into quarters and blend in food processor with basil, garlic and oil. Transfer to a bowl and add cheeses and salt to taste.

Procedure for shrimp and plating
Coat shrimp with oil and salt to taste: and grill shrimp. Once cooked place shrimp on plate and drizzle with artichoke pesto. You can also serve with some cooked pasta.
