Please enjoy this week's classic ArcaMax Chef column, originally run on
December 29, 2006. The Chef will return with a new menu next Friday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appetizer: Spinach Salad
2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil (or combination)
1 cup onion, chopped
6 small Portabella mushrooms sliced thin
2 pears chopped
2 tomatoes sliced into wedges then cut in half (bite size pieces)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
10 fresh oregano leaves
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. dried basil
One quarter cup dry white wine
Fresh Spinach, enough for 6 to 8 servings
One half cup real bacon bits
Heat oil or butter in saute pan. Add onion and saute slowly until
softened. Add mushrooms and saute for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are
soft. Add pear, tomato, lemon juice, herbs, and wine. Saute until heated
through. Arrange Spinach on a dinner plate, tearing into bite size pieces, top
with saute and garnish with bacon bits.
The Skinny: Not much room for improvement here.

Main Course: Sicilian Pasta
1 pound small shrimp peeled and deveined (you may also substitute with
boneless, skinless chicken cut into bite size pieces)
4 cloves garlic
One half cup olive oil
1 tsp. dried basil
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1 14-oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
Hot pepper flakes to taste
1 small jar capers, drained
1 pound linguine
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Cook shrimp or chicken in deep saucepan/wok until done. Remove
shrimp/chicken and discard liquid. In same saucepan add garlic, olive oil,
basil, parsley, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and capers and simmer for 4 to 5
minutes until garlic is cooked. Add shrimp or chicken during last 2 minutes of
cooking. Meanwhile cook pasta in a separate pan until "al dente". Drain water
from pasta. Add pasta to sauce, sprinkle generously with fresh Parmesan cheese
and toss to completely coat pasta with sauce and cheese. Serve immediately.
The Skinny: Be careful of how much of the red pepper flakes you use. Some
guests or small children may not like the heat.
New Years Day Black-eyed Peas
1 and one half cups chopped onion
1 and one half cups chopped celery
3 16-oz. cans black-eyed peas
1 16-oz. can chopped tomatoes
One half cup real bacon bits or one half cup of the Smithfield Ham,
chopped
1 clove garlic minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Saute onion and celery until tender. Combine with black-eyed peas,
tomatoes, bacon bits or ham, garlic, salt and pepper in baking dish. Bake for
30 minutes at 325 degrees.
The Skinny: This menu is good as is.

Tales from the ArcaMax Chef
We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or joyful whatever you celebrated
over the past week. I don't understand the whole politically correct issue
regarding wishing someone a Merry Christmas even if they don't celebrate
Christmas. I would take no offense to someone wishing me a merry day of
whatever they celebrate, even if I had never heard of the event before. Heck, I
would be grateful if someone wished me a happy Tuesday every once in a while.
I just don't see how wishing someone good fortune on any given day can be
considered rude. I could see the problem if people who celebrated Christmas
wished bad luck on those who didn't but that's not what happens. Maybe I am
oversimplifying things (not the first time) but if you wish someone a "Happy",
"Merry", "Joyful", "Peaceful"....(fill in the blank), what is there to be
offended about?
So here is wishing y'all a most happy, joyful, merry, peaceful and
prosperous Friday (I hope I don't offend anyone who is in a different time zone
so that Friday has either already passed or has not gotten here yet).
Happy New Year !!!!
God Bless America.
Enjoy!
