Aldente malware5/5/2023 The seafood-focused menu is quite lengthy, but unfortunately not very imaginative, making it a challenge actually to find something interesting. Blackwall Hitch is a small regional chain with outposts in Annapolis and Alexandria, and, as of this year, also one in Rehoboth Beach just steps from the boardwalk. Our one attempt to try something new for dinner resulted in our least impressive meal. I hope they were busier through the summer, since this is a wonderful restaurant. I enjoyed a roast chicken with mushroom and pea risotto while Chris opted for the mushroom ravioli-perfectly al dente pasta pockets filled with a silky mushroom puree and flecked with generous chunks of bacon. Despite that, we were still treated to a delicious dinner and friendly service. I'll keep my eyes open for that for sure.Įspumawas nearly empty the night we were there, but hey, it was the night of the storm. a(MUSE.) has a great bar, and while we enjoyed several good cocktails, the most memorable drink we had this year was an excellent wine: the Southern Slope 2012 cabernet sauvignon from Washington State. A tender Berkshire pork came nestled among tasty mushrooms. I loved my halibut served with a side of rye, a grain I've never enjoyed in whole form before-the chewy grains were delicious. We started the evening with a pucker-inducing jar o' pickles served with toast triangles, mustard and creme fraiche, which came with a variety of pickled vegetables, including snow peas. a(MUSE.), which no longer feels like a newcomer in town, continues to excel at delivering a range of unique flavors. We enjoyed quite good meals at two of our favorite. Rehoboth Beach has a good variety of fine-dining restaurants (even if they have white tablecloths, you can still totally go in your shorts-it's the beach after all). Plus, it doesn't hurt that every person we've met who works there is unfailingly friendly. The fajitas, whether you get steak or chicken (they also have many other varieties), are always well cooked, flavorful, not too greasy and garnished with all the accoutrements we like. Their frozen margaritas are by far the best, delivering a tart buzz without the cloying sweetness of most restaurant's frozen margs. (Cactus Cantina, Guano's and Laredo-formerly Alero), we never get food at those places that's as good as Dos Locos. The thing is, we really love Tex-Mex food and, despite the fact that we live near several popular Tex-Mex restaurants in D.C. Really quite good, actually.ĭos Locos basically feels like our second home while we're at the beach, and with the stormy weather we faced during our recent trip, we made several visits. This year, we focused mostly on revisiting some of our favorite places to see how they're holding up. We were in Rehoboth Beach over Labor Day weekend, which, yes, meant we were chased inside on Saturday by tropical storm Hermine, but the wind and rain was all the more reason to stay inside and eat well. The summer beach season is over, which means it's the perfect time to head to the shore to enjoy fewer crowds, shorter lines and the (still quite decent) mid-to-late September weather. Pair with a robust but not overbearing Italian red wine, such as Sassotondo Ciliegiolo. Remove the pasta from the heat and serve in shallow bowls topped with fresh basil and grated parmigiano-reggiano. Continue cooking the pasta in the sauce for another minute or two until the pasta is al dente (i.e. Drain pasta, then stir the pasta into the simmering tomato sauce. Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions 1 minute shy of al dente (al dente pasta is cooked through but chewy, so this pasta will be too chewy, indicating it needs more cooking time, which I'll get to in a second). The mixture should bubble just slightly.ģ. Simmer for 90 minutes, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer (medium-low or lower). Stir in the tomatoes, thyme, nutmeg and red chili pepper flakes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes more.Ģ. When the butter has melted and warmed, add the onion and cook about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. fresh ripe summer tomatoes (use canned tomatoes out of season I don't recommend using store-bought tomatoes from November until about mid-June as they lack flavor), cut into 1-inch piecesĤ-6 sprigs of fresh thyme, tied together with stringġ.
