Over the weekend:

Sauteed tilapia in a piccata style sauce with some different chards and sauv blancs, the best of which was an '01 CSJ Durell Vineyard.

Grilled rib eyes with a few cabs, the best of which was an '02 Ruston Rutherford.

Mostaccioli in a meat sauce. Had it with one of the cabs from the night before (Shadow Canyon). I found it to be very light, with some tart cherry notes. It was pretty good...

What kind of cut do you use for this whiz with?
We just get that box of frozen pre-sliced sirloin from Costco. Do you know which I'm talking about? Texas something-or-other, I believe. I'll check tonight. You can use any cut of meat, but if you don't use ore-sliced, you need the meat to be as thin as possible... impossible with a knife, you'll need a meat slicer (like your butcher has). They're very easy to make, and very tasty. If you want my recipe, just let me know.

Do we have to eat outside to be a true "Roman?"
I'm saying to be Roman, we need to eat a Whiz With. Razz Big Grin When we do it next year, we'll have to make it later in the year, so the colder weather won't prevent us from having Pat's.

I'm out...I don't have a meat slicer

I will tell everyone else how to do it, as you will mess it up and post about it 25 times. Just pay attention, and ask no direct questions and read the disclaimer at the bottom of your screen. You know the one that says " do not try this at home, these are highly trained professionals.".... Stay away from the light..... Razz Wink


Pat's uses ribeyes. And the way they do it is to put the meat in the freezer just till it gets set but not frozen. Then you can take a sharp knife and slice it super thin before you cook it. Saute the onions till they get translucent then toss the thin steak in and let it cook with the onion till its done and the onions take on the steak juices. Get a couple of soft Philly rolls, wipe them with some cheese whiz, then pile on the onions and beef. Thats as close as you can get to Pat's without a plane ticket. I make one for my wife whenver she is craving a real " Cheese Wit"

I like the place across the street better with the provolone myself.
flubis, you can get provolone at Pat's... just order a "Provolone with"... not a "Whiz With"

Last night I made...

Saltimbocca alla Romana (chicken, not veal)

4 chicken cutlets (or veal)
1 bunch of spinach
8 thin slices of prosciutto
8 slices provolone
1/3 cup white wine
2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tblspn butter
drizzle EVOO
8 toothpicks

- Make sure you have thin cutlets... I'm talking 1/8"-1/4". On top of each cutlet, place a few leaves of spinach, and top with 2 thin slices of prosciutto. Fasten prosciutto to cutlets with 1 toothpick at the top, and one at the bottom.
- Add EVOO to preheated pan (don't use non-stick, you'll want bits stuck to the bottom), and 1 tblspn of butter over med-high heat.
- Saute cutlets, prosciutto side down first for approx. 2 mins. Flip and sauté until done... about another 2-3 mins. Remove to a warm plate, and remove toothpicks.
- Deglaze pan with wine
- Add broth and reduce until desired consistency. Swirl in butter.
- Lower heat, and return cutlets and top each with 2 slices of provolone, and cover pan. Cook until cheese melts.

Now the notes: Italians don't use spinach, they use sage. Additionally, they don't top with cheese, but we like it better with. You can use any type of cheese, mozzarella, provolone, fontina, etc. You can also use either veal or chicken. Additionally, you can use either white wine, Marsala or Madeira. Finally, you can top with as much or as little spinach, prosciutto or cheese as you wish.

Very tasty, and very easy... maybe 20 mins start to finish including prep time. Smile

Is that question mark after "tomatoes" because you aren't sure how to spell tomatoes or because you were incapable of determining whether or not there were tomatoes in the salad? Either one is perfectly believeable. Big Grin
I was thinking the same thing... but the wording you used made it quite funny. Smile Razz
