Main Dishes

A simple Italian dinner of spinach egg drop soup, roast chicken and poached pears prepared by Pietro and Tina Fanzo in their Mono kitchen.

In a typical year in southern Ontario, asparagus spears will begin poking through the soil in early May. The season usually lasts about six weeks.

Remember, the amounts given here are guidelines. Taste the marinade as you make it and adjust the ingredients until you get a balance of flavours that pleases you.
