Plate of the Day: Mushroom Risotto with Crispy Salami

Mushroom Risotto with Crispy Salami
Mushroom Risotto with Crispy Salami
This is an unrecipe  - no measurements, just ideas you can adapt!
  • Arborio Rice
  • Chicken Stock
  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Butter
  • Olli Salami (misfits)
  • Salt/Pepper
  1. Heat a splash of oil in the bottom of a large pot or deep pan.
  2. Dice some of the salami and fry it until crispy and then remove it from the pan.
  3. Add diced onions and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Once they are cooked down quite a bit add the arborio rice to the pan and mix it all together. (feel free to add a splash of white wine here if you're into that sort of thing)
  4. Add chicken stock by the ladle-full and stir constantly. This takes a while!
  5. Taste the rice periodically for flavor and texture. Remember to season along the way (salt & pepper). I also added some garlic powder and onion powder.
  6. When the rice is nearly finished and the stock is mostly absorbed, add a pad of butter in and grate some fresh parmesan cheese. Mix it all together well.
  7.  When you serve the risotto, add a fresh grating of parmesan and top the dish with the fried salami. Enjoy!

Lemoona House Mediterranean Restaurant - Door Dash Delivery Review

10/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Last week we decided to try a new-to-us restaurant - Lemoona House. Currently opened 11am-9pm everyday except Tuesday, you can order take out or dine to enjoy "homestyle mediterranean" at Lemoona House. You can also have delivery via door dash ($30 off) or Uber Eats ($15 0ff). Hopefully grubhub will be an option sometime too. ​Thanks to our favorite credit card, we have free dash pass membership and an annual credit on door dash orders, yay! So we went the Door Dash route. Here's what we tried: 

Greek Pizza - $9.75

Feta and mozzarella cheese, sumac marinated onions, gyro or chicken (we chose gyro), fresh tomato and tzaziki on the side. 
Picture
Picture
The Greek Pizza was basically room temp by the time we got it (delivery woes), but was a promising thin crusted pizza. 

Dolma - $3.99

Tender grapevine leaves stuffed with rice, onions, herbs, and Turkish spices. Rolled tightly and gently cooked with olive oil and lemon juice. (5 per order)
Picture
The dolmas were a good value and tasted good, but I actually prefer the herbs in these ones from a recent misfits or imperfect box, can't remember which at the moment. 

Profitorole - $1.99

Cream puffs drenched in a dark chocolate sauce and sprinkled with sweet coconut flakes
Picture
These were exactly what I expected them to be and a really affordable price for a sharable, light dessert!

Baklawa - $1.50

Baklawa (aka baklava). Unfortunately these did not show up in our order, which was a bummer. And FYI, you only have 24 hours to report any issue with a door dash order, so don't procrastinate! :) 

Lemoona Mix Platter - $15.99

Gyro meat, kibbeh, kofta kebab, chicken shawarma with rice, hummus, taziki sauce and Mediterranean salad, served with pita. 
Picture
We opted for the Lemoona Mix Platter so we could try a variety from the restaurant at one time. The Gyro meat is excellent in flavor and may just be the way to go! I don't think there was any kibbeh on the platter, the chicken was a bit on the dry side and the mediterranean salad was very simple with a light dressing that was good, but nothing to write home about. Pita and taziki were good and the hummus was excellent. 

Door Dash Discount - $30 Credit

Repeat Eat?

I'd repeat eat at Lemoona House. This delivery order was definitely not perfect, but I feel pretty confident that an in-person experience would be significantly better. As far as their to-go orders are concerned, I'd love to see a switch away from styrofoam containers...
