New recipes, February 3, 2013

From the February 2013 Bon Appétit, Lettuce Hearts with Shaved Hazelnuts, and Beef with Wild Mushrooms. We give the salad a 4, and the beef a 5!! Don't let the simple name fool you--the beef is spectacular! The secret is in the reduction of the sauce. And you can always find a use for the onions that contribute so much flavor but don't make it into the final product--we had them in scrambled eggs this morning!

Wine: Chateau Lirac 2007--a wonderful match!
