In a world filled with complications, it’s nice when something is simple like one recipe for an entire dinner and one store for all ingredients. Thanks to Real Simple magazine, Steak with Mozzarella and Tomatoes was the featured entree at ChezHelvetica this evening, and thanks to Trader Joe’s all ingredients beckoned from their shelves. After cooking seasoned New York Strip Steak in olive oil, the steak rested and then Cherry Tomatoes were added to the pan along with petite “Ciliegenie” Mozzarella Balls and Basil leaves just plucked from our beautiful plant. Warm Ciabatta completed the course as we quaffed house favorite Bogle Zinfandel. TJ’s Crispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, plopped container and all on the table, provided the effortless, sweet conclusion to this fun meal. As my Mother-in-Law oft stated, K.I.S.S. – Keep It Simple Stupid. Grace would have enjoyed this dinner too!
