Meigas

Delectible sangria at Meigas in Norwalk.  The meal that followed was not only as good as I expected, but better than I’d hoped.  Menu descriptions for now — in depth dissertations later.

Mejillones Al Vapor — PEI Mussels with Basque Green Sauce and White Beans (mopped up every drop of sauce with the wonderful, crusty bread)

Calamares a la Plancha – Grilled Baby Squid, Peppers, Tomato and Mango with a citrus vinaigrette.  — Tender squid, fresh and lively accompainment.

Pulpo – Steamed Octopus, Potato Foam, Smoked Spanish Paprika, Fleur de Sel, EVOO

Coca de Lomo — Marinated and Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Black Olives, Tomatoes, Scallions and Melted Tettila Cheese served on Crispy Gallacian Bread

Chorizo a la Plancha con Lentejas – Grilled Chorizo Sausage with Lentil Salad

Arroz Marinero – Shrimp, Mussles, Squid, Scallops, with Bomba Rice and Saffron

Arroz con Leche – Rice Pudding, Passion Fruit Ice Cream, Lemon Foam

Licor 43 – 43 Herbs and Fruits — Outstanding liquor.  Starts off vanilla — mellows into caramel and butterscotch.  Absolutely delicious.

Don't be shellfish...
