Atlanta, menu, pasta, patio, salad, SOHO, summer

Warm temperatures and longer days means it is patio season at SOHO Atlanta! In keeping with the change of season, the restaurant has added a few new items to the menu.

SOHO's chefs showcase the fresh ingredients of the spring and summer with a new pasta dish composed of angel hair pasta and pomodoro fresco with extra virgin olive oil and sweet basil. Light and seasonal, this is a pasta not to be missed!  May I suggest pairing the dish with a field green salad (mixed greens tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette, topped with crumbled blue cheese, and sliced tomatoes) and a glass of chiati for the perfect summer meal?

SOHO has also returned the House-made mozzarella salad to the menu. Light and delicious, the salad features homemade mozzarella layered with roasted red peppers and served with arugula, tomatoes and a Kalamata olive vinaigrette.

Atlanta, menu, pasta, pork chop, salad, SOHO

As cold (very cold!) weather sweeps across Atlanta it's a good time to enjoy the warmth of family, friends, and great food and wine. The chefs at SOHO are dedicated to creating savory, seasonal dishes to satisfy every palate.

The latest addition to the SOHO menu is a Braised Cider Beet Salad. The salad features arugula, goat's cheese, toasted pecans, and braised cider beets tossed in a citrus vinaigrette. As a starter – or meal unto itself – the salad is a seasonal delight.

In addition to the new items I've highlighted recently, SOHO's menu is full of longtime favorites. I wanted to take a moment and spotlight two of these dishes. First, the Beef Bolognese. This traditional dish features a savory bolognese sauce over farfalle pasta. Topped with shaved parmesan, it is the perfect dish to warm up a cold winter night. Next, there is the Grilled Pork Chop. The dish features a tender, juicy bone-in pork chop served over herb roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Served with a side of pear sauce, the pork chop is a meal that is sure to please.

Please stop in soon and find your own SOHO favorite.

Summer Refreshment

Yesterday, June 21, was the summer solstice – the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere – and the official start of summer (although with temperatures in the mid-nineties for weeks, I think Atlantans already know summer has arrived). Why not take advantage of the long summer evenings and stop in at SOHO to enjoy a cool drink and appetizer or dinner this week?

 

One of our most recent additions to the SOHO cocktail menu is the Absolut Dream. The recipe features Absolut Mandarin Vodka, Chambord, and sweet and sour mix – the perfect refreshment on a hot summer day. To mix one up at home, pour 1 1/2 ounces of Absolut Mandarin Vodka into a cocktail shaker with ice. Then, add 1 ounce sweet and sour mix and 1/2 ounce Chambord. Shake and strain the contents into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange slice and you’re set!

 

In the mood to eat light because of the summer heat? SOHO’s House Made Mozzarella Salad is an ideal choice at lunch or dinner. (It’s one of my menu favorites). Composed of fresh tomatoes and house made mozzarella, garnished with basil oil and balsamic reduction, it’s a tasty treat.

If you’re in the mood to whip up the salad at home, here’s Chef Joe’s recipe:

 

Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Salad (1 serving) 

Ingredients:

4 oz. tomatoes (use your favorite tomatoes or the best that you can find)

2 oz. fresh mozzarella

2 ea. medium fresh basil leaves, julienne or sliced

1/2 oz. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 oz. balsamic syrup (optional – balsamic vinegar reduced to 1/4 original volume)

 

Directions:

– Slice tomatoes and mozzarella and arrange them either uniformly or dice the cheese and tomatoes and place them on a platter.

– To make the balsamic reduction: Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Turn the heat to low and reduce. The vinegar will thicken as it cools.

– Dress the salad with fresh basil, olive oil, balsamic syrup or vinegar, and salt and pepper (to taste).

 

Enjoy!

Scrumptious Salads

It’s a new year – and many people are looking forward to beginning 2010 with light, healthy meals. With that in mind, I thought I’d highlight a few of my favorite SOHO salads in this post (and, don’t forget about the Salmon Thai, always a tasty – and healthy – option).

One of my go-to lunches is the Chinese Chicken Salad – a grilled chicken breast over baby greens, napa cabbage, carrots, and plenty of peppers served with a seasame vinaigrette.

 

SOHO diners consistently rave about the Maple Grilled Salmon Salad – a maple glazed salmon fillet over field greens, served with sweet potato chips and a key lime vinaigrette.

Finally, you can’t go wrong with the classic Caprese Salad – SOHO’s features house-made mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, basil oil and a balsamic vinegar reduction.

 

If you’re preparing lunch or dinner at home, here’s a great recipe to try (the citrus flavors might even remind you of warmer days).

 

Citrus Salad (serves 4)

(from the Food Network / Rachel Ray)

 

Ingredients

2 hearts romaine lettuce

2 cups jarred citrus salad of orange and grapefruit sections, drained

2 tablespoons marmalade

2 tablespoons white wine or cider vinegar

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons chopped or snipped chives

 

Directions

Chop lettuce. Arrange lettuce on platter and top with pieces of grapefruit and orange. Combine marmalade with 2 splashes of vinegar and stream in extra-virgin olive oil. Pour dressing over the salad and season with salt and pepper. Garnish platter with chopped or snipped chives

 

Enjoy!
