We had a fun tasting last week at the LUX Catering & Events offices featuring some of the new items we are considering adding to our menus this spring! Our chefs knocked it out of the park with a long list of delicious and exotic recipes.

The purpose of this tasting was to explore dishes we could offer as small plate meals – imagine having a meal where you got to try a small sampling of handful of delicious and appetizing dishes!? This not only allows us to further customize an intricate and flavorful menu but it also allows our clients to enjoy a flavorful journey as they enjoy our food.

Here is just a sampling of the items they prepared last week and which you may soon see on our upcoming new menus!
Moqueca:

Based off a traditional Brazilian recipe that features a variety of salt water fish,  we added clams, calamari steak, halibut, shrimp, and squid in a creamy and  savory coconut milk broth.

Halibut:

We pan-seared small fillets of halibut and paired them with red quinoa and served them over a smooth butternut squash purée. We topped the dish off with two thin slices of fresh red bell pepper.
