| Baba Ghanoush |
I was in the mall again a couple of weeks ago for some errands and was in the look out for an ink-efficient printer. I noticed Stavros, a Mediterranean bistro, and made a mental note to have dinner there after I finished my errands.
I was the only customer when I got here around 7 pm, and the kitchen crew seemed happy to see me. I was focused on hummus for my pita but they were fresh out of stock. The lady at the counter suggested Baba Ghanoush instead---a Levantine dip of eggplant and tahini, mashed and mixed with olive oil and garlic. I remember the eggplant dip/appetizer at Chateau 1778 that I have been trying to make at home but was never successful.
Anyway, I still prefer the eggplant appetizer at Chateau 1778 but this Baba Ghanoush was also tasty. Eggplant is one of my least favorite vegetables that I'm always delighted when I encounter an interesting and flavorful eggplant dish.
I wanted something light for the main course, and decided on Linguine alle Vongole--a lighter pasta made with fresh clams, garlic, wine, parsley and olive oil. This was scrumptious!

Linguine is one of my favorite pasta. I used to make a potful with white clam sauce during winter weekends.
That looks delicious. Sorry to hear the placed closed. I guess, they didn't have enough locals to understand their menu.
the quesadillas looks yummy..sad to know though that the place is no longer there..
I haven't tried pasta with fresh clams.. looks very yummy and sure it tastes yummy too! Eggplant becomes special when cooked with unique flavorings.
awww, too bad. their Linguine alle Vongole looks so much like the one that i almost always order over at Burgoo, their seafood linguini. yummm!
