In August, my family took a short vacation to Washington, DC. We stayed in Arlington, VA, and ate most of our meals in the Crystal City area. The highlight was our dinner at Chef Jose Andres' Jaleo, a tapas bar/restaurant. My husband trusted me to order plates for us all to sample and share. My first choice was Chef Andres' version of the classic salade Nicoise for my older son:
I couldn't pass up the asparagus with romesco sauce (a fav of mine):
For my younger son, I thought bacalhau fritters with honey aioli was a good choice:
We also had a really amazing wild mushroom rice dish, which was eaten so fast I didn't get to snap a pic of it! The adults washed all the scrumptious food down with sangria (yum!) and not a crumb remained at the end of the meal, except for part of the hot pepper on top of the salad. I now want to visit more of his restaurants to see if all of Chef Andres' food is top flight like Jaleo's. You can read about his restaurant group at www.thinkfoodgroup.com
