Wednesday Dinner...

...rmember what Wednesday's are? Yes, downtown Portland Farmer's Market and it is the day we eat delicious fresh mushrooms. Ron went to the market today and brought back delicious chantarelles. I sautéed them in olive oil with sweet onions, added a little Marsala, salt and pepper - let the alcohol cook out and then added a tablespoon or so of Tofutti sour cream. Tossed the mushrooms with short rigatoni. Along side we had oven roasted fresh red beets. And yes, all four of us love beets. I washed the young beets, chopped them in slices, and tossed them in a little olive oil. Preheated the oven at 425 F, baked them for about 30- 40 minutes until soft, and then sprinkled them with a little salt.

So to sum it up, Wednesday dinner was rigatoni with chantarelles, served with oven roasted red beets, and a salad of baby greens, golden cherry tomatoes carrots in homemade vinaigrette. It was an overall dinner success - yay!!!
