Two great Appetizers - Lorraine - 10-27-2008 I was in Winnipeg Manitoba last weekend, and we stopped off for a bite to eat at a restaurant called Moxie's. We were on our way to an art opening, so had limited time, and only ordered 2 apps. I wrote down the description off the menu, but not the name. If the apps were any indication of the main courses , I sure wish we would have had more time. The ambiance was great, the wait staff even better. And, they were offering $7.00 off any bottle of wine. Here were the two apps we had: Sushi grade Ahi Tuna in a sesame dijon crust, presented on a ginger shitake salad with crispy wontons and lemon aioli. $9.99 for 6 of them The tuna was done to perfection. Mosaic Dip This was done in a gratin dish, so think of layers. a base of fresh tomatoes, garlic and sweet red onions topped with a layer of creamy diced mushrooms and finished with a seasoned Quebec goat cheese, served with naan bread. I sure hope I get a chance to try to replicate them some time. Re: Two great Appetizers - Mare749 - 10-27-2008 Those appetizers sound very tasty, Lorraine. Hope you will be successful making them yourself. Be sure to post your results. I noticed that Moxie's is a chain with several locations in Canada. We also have one here on Cleveland's east side. (Beachwood) I wonder if it's the same restaurant? Maryann Re: Two great Appetizers - labradors - 10-27-2008 Quote: Doesn't look like it: Beachwood vs. Canada. Even the names are different. The former: "Moxie: The Restaurant"; the latter: "Moxie's Classic Grill." Re: Two great Appetizers - cjs - 10-28-2008 oh my, they both do sound good. The wontons - were they a good size for scoopers or strips as garnish? 'ginger shitake salad' - hmmmm, something to play with, I sure hope you do. The mosaic dip - hurry up and play, Lorraine! Re: Two great Appetizers - Lorraine - 10-29-2008 The salad sat on the wonton, and was topped by the tuna, then the aioli. It was a two bite appetizer, well, I did manage to stick some in whole. |
