Rice with spinach, pignolias and lonza

I was throwing together dinner with stuff I had on hand, rice, some pignolia nuts and  spinach from the freezer. It needed something meaty but I didn’t have any meat in the freezer. I had lonza from Jessup  so I sliced some thin and chopped it so it looked like confetti. It was a culinary revelation! The salt, the texture against the rice, the chew! Wonderful!

    Hello Lee,

    Thanks for posting the Lonza recipe. I worked in Jessup many years ago at 312 church street(Steve’s TV service) I had lunch at Cap’s cafe every day. I know steve’s TV is long gone, but what about Cap’s? in my last days working at Steve’s,(1988) Cap was selling out to the new owners of the Bar. I also use to go down to Doma’s imports and get some great olive’s and cheese too, they were the good old days. I live near Hazleton now and still make many old world meats, you can see some of them on our web site: danbassak.com

    Dan, your web site is an inspiration! Thank you! Your charcuterie and sauerkraut and solar … oh my everything! Thank you!

    As far as Cap’s, I’m not sure. I only travel through Jessup briefly every now and then.

    ubaldoYou can look at a streetview of 312 Church St on Google Maps. In the past few years I’ve been to Colarusso’s and Mariano’s. My folks have gotten famous hot dogs from a place on Church, I don’t know the name of that place though.

    You might appreciate some photos I have of Saint Ubaldo’s Day. :-) I’ve got more than just this one but you get the idea :-)
