TRIPLE PRIMIS AT DOC

Happy New Year and our thanks to everyone who celebrated with us on New Year’s Eve! We’re starting off 2012 with a few new dishes. In antipasti, we have a new chopped kale salad, with poached fingerling potatoes, house-made pickled squash & carrots, hazelnuts & aioli. A simple favorite of charred broccoli raab with chili flake & olive oil will find it's way on to the menu this week, as well as spicy braised winter greens with a poached egg & bread crumbs. Celeriac sformato & root vegetable salad continue to be favorites.

We received a half-hog from Square Peg last week, which means pork sugo cavatelli is back, joining risotto with carrot puree & belper knolle on the primis. Dungeness crab & butternut squash ravioli will be a rare third primi on the menu this week, topped with Sonny's steelhead caviar and brown butter.

The loin & shoulder roasts from the hog will start off the week for secondi, coming with braised collard greens & sunchoke puree. Get it while it lasts, with flatiron steak on the menu at week's end. We’ll start out the week with steelhead as our fish dish, with a chance of sturgeon arriving for the second half.

Last but not least, we have one new dessert, a cinnamon panna cotta with candied almonds & poached pear. Starting the new year sweet.
