We went to Real Food in Beverly Hills last night. Fortunately, we got in early enough to miss the long wait for a table. We squeezed in at the end of the shopping supper crowd.
We started out with their miso soup. I have to say it is darn tasty. They have a creamier miso than what you find at a Japanese place (or California Vegan). I think they must puree the tofu into the miso. They also cook it with large chunks of ginger. MMM. Yummy.
For an appetizer, we had the hummus and whole wheat pita and opened a bottle of Organic Vintners Pinot Noir. I'm becoming more of a fan of Pinot Noir. This one was good. It was better after it breathed for a while. I like supporting organic and vegan wineries. I hope that they will become more popular and the demand will grow. This would improve the overall quality and selection in the long run. Quoting the label, "Made with Certified Organic grapes from the renowned Mendocino region, this rich, deep wine has aromas of raspberry, current and plum." The label says it is vinted and bottled by Barra of Mendocino Winery, Ukiah, CA for Organic Vintners - http://www.organicvintners.com
For our entrees, we went with the specials this month - "Mama Mia Wotta Lasagna" served with brocolli and salad and "Mexican Riviera", a pecan-crusted sliced tempeh drizzled with black bean sauce and mango salsa, side of coconut mashed yams and sauted greens. Dee-lish!!!!
