New Park Pizza

I read somewhere that La Villa makes the best pizza in Howard Beach. I ordered a large Margherita pizza topped with shaved Prosciutto di Parma. The crust was too thick, it was like eating bread. What little sauce there was on it dried up in the oven. The homemade mozzarella was lovely, but contributed little to the flavor. The generous ham topping was the only ingredient which gave this otherwise bland pizza some character. Bill for one large pie: $33 plus tax and tip. Overall score: C+

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet Salad

My cousin, a professional chef, makes a salad of roasted red and yellow beets with Spanish manchebo cheese (not manchego, this is different--get it at Whole Foods or Wegman's), drizzled with a balasamic vinegar reduction. Beautiful and delicious.

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet Salad

I love beets my kids use to not like them ,now they do,my grandchildren do but don't. Pickled is good. My kids called them black eggs,there not really black there pickled in a large pickle jar 1 1/2 boiled eggs pickle spice not much 1/3 cup or to your liking 1part vinegar 2 part water 3 to 4 cans off beats.
You can or not in a small pan spice and little water boil the pour in jar. and boiled peeled eggs,beets, water, set in icebox at least 24 Hr. or longer ., good for 3 weeks at least. we make this on holidays sometimes I just make a small jar. You can add any thing you like onion ex.... I like to no how they make cooked beet they seem to have a orange flavor to them.

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet Salad

I made this dish last week and it was an absolute knock-out. Easy to make (though my beets took almost twice as long to cook through), and I loved the heat of the peppers balanced against the mild sweetness of the yellow beets.

This makes a great side dish, but honestly, I was pretty happy just curling up with a bowl all by itself.
