Twin sisters and co-authors, Mary Corpening Barber and Sara Corpening Whiteford prepare delicious main course recipes from their cookbook. Together they will demonstrate some savory recipes in this video.
First on the menu is Orzo Salad with Lemon, Feta and Pine Nuts. Cook orzo in salted boiling water. Cook it till it is al dente. Prepare lemon vinaigrette using fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano and salt. Add the vinaigrette to the orzo. Also add 2 ounces of feta and stir well. Add some golden raisins, you can also use blackcurrant or black raisins. Next, add some olives, red onions and toasted pine nuts to the mix. Lightly grate in some lemon zest. Finally, chop some basil leaves and add salt to taste. Toss this tasty orzo salad in the Pottery Barn Studio Salad Bowl.
For the Roasted Asparagus dish, pick some thick asparagus sticks. Chop the ends and then peel the asparagus. Spread out the asparagus in a baking tray and drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper on the top. Place it in the oven at 450 F for 12-15 minutes. To serve, use Pottery Barn’s beautiful white rectangular serving platters and serve the roasted asparagus with balsamic vinegar dressing.
A terrific and mouth-watering main course dish that doesn’t require any cooking is smoked salmon platter. Start by cutting some pumpernickel bread diagonally to go with the salmon. Artfully place the thinly sliced salmon strips along with the different condiments on a large platter. Place honey mustard dip with dill. Serve some finely chopped red onions and some capers. Add the sliced bread and a few lemon wedges and some fresh dill as garnish.
