This week’s Chef on a Shoestring was Joey Campanaro from The Little Owl restaurant in Greenwich Village. Here’s his menu:
Arugula and Peach Salad with Brie Toasts Roasted Chicken on a bed of Sautéed Mushrooms, Spinach and Tomatoes Strawberry Plum Cobbler
The white peaches and quartered mission figs shown here go into the salad! A little sugar in the vinaigrette helps it all make sense.

Brie toasts are also a keeper.

The plums are sautéed in a little butter, then the pan is deglazed with sparkling apple juice and you cook them down, mix with the strawberries, top with almond streusel, and bake.

I know someplace in town has Labrie yogurt (made in Israel), but I substituted Greek yogurt for the topping in this Strawberry Plum Cobbler. I added lemon zest in addition to the sugar and lemon juice called for in the recipe. This makes the third time a chef has used this topping on Chef On A Shoestring. It’s a keeper, simple but elegant.
