This was my super fast, super simple, dinner on the fly.
Raw zucchini, sliced thin
Black beans
Shallots, sliced thin
Salt & pepper
Oil & red wine vinegar

Delicious!

Left overs

Very unlike me to do leftovers but I couldn't resist adding yesterday's sausage to a nice bowl of lentils and broccoli rabe

Home cookin'

Italian home cooking at it's best. Very simple roasted peppers, italian sausage, rigatoni, dash of gravy, splash of crushed red pepper and parmesan cheese.

Fennel Crusted Mahi Mahi with Assorted Salads

A refreshing, light but filling meal for summer.

Choose a firm fish, such as in this case, Mahi Mahi, rub with a mixture of crushed fennel seeds, olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake or pan fry.

Served here with a refreshing parsley salad made with romaine lettuce, flat-leaf parsley, fennel, radishes, cucumbers, and red onions. And Roasted Golden Beet salad, with avocado and a creamy vidalia onion dressing. Even for those folks who don't like beets, this salad was a winner!

And don't forget the all-important gin and tonic and a slice of crusty bread.

Mama Mia

We decided to do it Tuscan style tonight and cooked everything either in the wood fired Chiminia or the cheapo grill I have. We roasted the clams on the grill ( freakin outstanding), baked the bread and the potatoes in the coals , roasted the peppers on top of the Chiminia stack, and fired up the porterhouse on the grill, added the anchovies and the wine and we were in heaven.

We're back..just where we started

Cooking Carbone started two years ago with a pizza and an idea. Well I'm proud to say we're still cooking great pizzas. Tonight we devoured two pizzas, sauteed spinach with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and extra garlic and a green olive, asparagus, artichoke, onion pie, compliments of Chef Franchise
