Risotto with Oregano and Brown Butter Scallops
Even though Risotto takes a bit of time to prepare, it is very simple to make. This classic Italian dish is buttery and creamy rich. We added high quality scallops and some sautéed oregano for an elegant entree.
Milk Braised Pork Roast
Simmering smaller, tender cuts of meat in milk and herbs is a less acidic way to slow roast without drying out the meat, while adding tons of flavour to a built-in gravy. Albeit a little different looking with small milk curds, the flavour can’t be…

Reminiscent of a lunch we had in Italy years ago, butter beans are so versatile. Perfect for soups, stews, salads and as a side dish. We love this simple meal on a hot summer day!
Green Peppercorn Sauce with Steak
