Chicken Port Said

Chicken Port Said

Chicken Port SaidThe Chicken Port Said at Shiraz Armenian Cuisine consisted of a huge batch of saute mushrooms in butter, and freshly crushed garlic, pepper, and salt. The perfect amount of lemon was added and stirred in to give it a little added zest. Served over rice with lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley, the chicken was super tender and seasoned perfectly and the abundance of mushrooms was a delicious addition to the rice and chicken. This is the perfect meal and there is plenty to take home and enjoy the next day. The grape leaves are also amazing here… -DD

Porcini Mushroom

Restaurant: Ritual, Main Street

The Facts: Sauteed in wine, lemon and garlic tossed with chèvre and served over linguine.

Foodie’s Review: For those looking to skip the meat in their linguine should try Ritual’s rendition of the Porcini Mushroom. Perfectly tender linguine acts as the ambassador to the sauce, mushrooms and flakes of Parmesan. Right off the bat, the heavy zest from the lemon and garlic medley dance with the flavors from the wine sauce and drizzle of balsamic. Unlike the traditional pasta dish, the combination of Parmesan and the perfectly portioned chèvre (goat cheese) interact perfectly with the taste buds, leaving the aftertaste in your mouth feeling dry like drinking a deep red wine. The texture of the mushrooms and pasta are quick to replace the dryness with the zest from the lemon. The dish is a constant roller coaster for your pallet, leaving you wanting more.
