Elegant Dinner
January 21, 2010
Dinner for a special eve with an easy, elegant meal of veal scallops with wild mushrooms and nutmeg-spiked cre`me fraiche.
I use dried mushrooms, which take only minutes to reconstitute in hot water. Cre`me fraiche, a slightly soured cream, can be found in many supermarkets. Heavy cream also works well in the recipe.
Sweet pepper orzo is a colorful side dish. Red and green bell pepper cubes are added to the pot just before the rice-shaped pasta has finished cooking.
