[whitespace] Harvest Dinner

The finest seasonal vegetables and herbs from the OAEC's organic gardens and orchards are harvested just hours before mealtime, making it impossible to predict the menu beforehand. A great diversity of ingredients, tastes, and colors typifies the center's fare, as in this sample menu from a past dinner.


Crostini with Fresh Azerbaijani Basil Pesto

Iranian Basil Pesto and Italian Basil Pesto with French Figs

Raspberries and Freshly Picked Roasted Almonds

Harvest Fettuccini with Assorted Runner Beans, French Red Shallots, Portobello Mushrooms, and Roasted Heirloom Paste Tomatoes

Assorted Breads with Herb Butter
