"Lamb Fillet with Morels" from The Greek Taverna, McLean, VA
12 Dried morels 320 g Lamb fillet 200 g Finely minced (blended) chicken breast 120 g Romaine lettuce 200 g Pork net (1 sheet) Seasoning salt and pepper Butter PORT WINE SAUCE (1/2 CUP 1/3 c Liquefied gravy sauce powder, or beef stock (see below) 3/16 c Port wine CHIVE CREAM SAUCE (1/3 CUP 10 g Chopped shallots 3/16 c Wine Few drops of white wine 150 g Chicken stock 120 g Cream 5 g Chopped chives Olive oil Seasoning sugar salt and pepper POTATO PANCAKES 100 g Potato 10 g Flour 1 Egg 1/2 Egg yolk 3/16 c Cream 3/16 c Milk Seasoning salt and pepper GARNISHES 12 Broccoli florets Seasoning salt, pepper, chicken stock Butter 50 g Diced tomato 10 g Chopped truffle 10 g Chopped chives This looks pretty tasty++lamb fillets stuffed with minced chicken and served with potato pancakes. The presentation looks like something seen through a kaleidoscope++overlapping triangles formed by the three lamb fillets, the potato pancakes, the morels and the sauces. Here again, I believe that "shallots" are in reality scallions. The "pork net" is more than likely a web of caul fat. Establishment: New World Hotel 22 Salisbury Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon. Western Cuisine Practical Class Gold Award Hot Entree Chef: Lin Man sang World Hotel) To prepare: 1. Soak morels over night in cold water and wash thoroughly Discard stalks. 2. Cut off and discard lamb fillet's stringy part. Season fillet with salt and pepper. Using barbecue skewers, pierce through fillet lengthways, stretching meat apart slightly to form a central hole about 1.5 cms wide. Stuff chicken force meat into hole (one way is to use a piping or icing bag). 3. To make port wine sauce: either make a beef stock which includes sauteed mixed vegetables, herbs (rosemary, thyme and black pepper) and tomato paste, or liquefy the contents of a gravy sauce packet to produce a thick 1/3 cup of gravy. Add port wine, maintaining a thick consistency. Keep warm. 4. To make chive cream sauce: saute chopped shallots in a little oil, add Madeira wine, few drops of white wine, and chicken stock. Boil until thick, then add cream. Strain and add chopped chives, pinch of sugar, and salt and pepper according to taste. Keep warm. 5. Make 12 small golden brown potato pancakes. Keep warm. To cook: 1. Saute morels in butter, with seasoning (salt, pepper and chicken stock, according to taste) for 2 to 3 minutes. 2. Lightly blanch broccoli florets, then discard stalks. Saute florets in butter with seasoning (salt, pepper and chicken stock, according to taste) for 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Cut stalks off lettuce and blanch leaves. Wrap one layer of lettuce leaves around stuffed lamb. Then wrap it completely with sheet of pork net, folding net over the ends to enclose them. 4. Pan fry stuffed lamb in melted butter (a soupspoonful) over a low flame for approximately 5 minutes until lightly browned. 5. Remove lamb to a roasting dish and roast in its own juices in an oven (250F) for 20 to 25 minutes, turning it every 4 or 5 minutes. 6. When lamb is cooled, remove from oven, and carefully take off pork net wrapping. Slice the lettuce wrapped fillet into 12 portions. To present: 1. Dress centre of each plate with a large spoonful of chive cream sauce. 2. Spoon out three separate portions of port wine sauce so that they touch the chive cream sauce. 3. Lay lamb slices sideways on port wine sauce. 4. Place three potato pancakes in spaces between lamb slices and lay a broccoli floret on each pancake. 5. Garnish chive cream sauce with morels and a central heap of diced tomato. Scatter a few specks of truffle over each lamb slice, and a sprinkling of chopped chives over central garnish display.

What a Gem!
DESCRIPTION: On a recent Monday evening, I went along with my husband and our children to eat at Amphora's Diner Deluxe in Herndon. What a surprisingly wonderful experience. We expected a "diner experience" but instead were treated to a fabulous dining experience to rival many of the restaurants in the Reston/Herndon area. Had we not been shopping for a bakery (more on that later) we may never have visited this restaurant. The service was attentive, the food was delicious, large portions and quite reasonably priced. I ordered a New York Sirloin Steak, my husband ordred the Salmon Special, and our children ordered off the kids menu. Unlike many othe restaurants, were surprised that the salad came with the entree. My husband's special even came with a delicious crabmeat bisque. The food was wonderful and a great value. The children's menu is large and includes the soft drinks and dessert. As for desserts, that was entirely the reason for coming to Amphora in the first place. We wanted to place an order for a birthday cake and hence discovered the restaurant. The cakes and desserts are truly mouth watering. The custom birthday cake for our daughter was the talk of the party - It looked just like the invitation. They told us that all the desserts were baked in house. What a surprise. All and all a great experience! We look forward to trying Amphora for breakfast

Great food
DESCRIPTION: This is some of the best greek food I've ever had. Nothing I've gotten there (and I've gone probably 15 times) has disappointed. Their souvlaki's a great for lunch and come with some really good soup and bread. Their roasted lamb dishes are great as well. If you're going with 3 or more people, you might try their Greek appetizer sampler that includes several different types of cold greek appetizers. The owner/operator is really nice and attentive and many of the people working there are native Greeks. Definitely go if you eat in McLean often

love this place
DESCRIPTION: Eating here, you feel like family. The food is good, if not particularly fashionable--it's traditional Greek taverna food. The atmosphere is wonderfully warm, there's an outside deck with colored lights where you can sit in the summer, and weekends you can enjoy lively Greek music.
