In keeping with the routine of offering a monthly special dining event, The Mayflower Community served a Sicilian Dinner to residents and their guests on Friday, April 1st (no joke!). Sitting at tables of six for the first time in two years, diners enjoyed this seven-course dinner:
- Cocktails – Home-made limoncello topped with champagne
- Hors D’oeuvres – Bruschetta (toasted crostini with chopped/seasoned tomatoes, garlic, onion, and a balsamic reduction)
- Cheese Course – Ricotta Salata (baked ricotta with olive oil and herbs)
- Appetizer – Caponata (roasted and sauteed eggplant, tomato, onion, peppers, and capers in olive oil and tomato sauce)
- Salad – Endives, candied walnuts, and feta drizzled with honey
- Entrée – Pasta bolognaise (spaghetti nests with the bolognaise sauce and a basil oil)
- Dessert – Cassatelle (mascarpone and chocolate chips stuffed in a rich dough and dusted with powdered sugar)
- Mignardise (bite-sized dessert served with coffee) – A piped almond cookie topped with an almond and baked)
“Umm great!” That was the dinner critics’ rating at the end of the experience.
