WELCOME
from the president
Dear Friends,
For the past 30 years, Greenwich Hospital’s annual Great Chefs fundraiser has
benefitted the wellness programs and services provided by Community Health
at Greenwich Hospital (CH@GH). This special feast has become a favorite for so
many in our community, which is why I am particularly excited to see what is in
store for us this evening at Taste the Towns. This new twist on the hospital’s original
and much loved culinary event is sure to be a huge hit.
I continue to be inspired by the generosity of everyone in attendance tonight,
from the guests who purchased tickets and tables, to the numerous advertisers
and sponsors who chose to spend their marketing dollars in support of Greenwich
Hospital. I would be remiss to not mention our multi-talented chefs who took
time away from their hectic businesses to contribute their time and talent to this
worthy cause.
For more than a century,
Greenwich Hospital has
focused on programs
that bring preventive
services and medical
care to all segments of
our community.
All proceeds from Taste the Towns help sustain and enhance hundreds of
community outreach initiatives provided by CH@GH. For more than a century,
Greenwich Hospital has focused on programs that bring preventive services and
medical care to all segments of our community. CH@GH supports the hospital’s
mission to provide a full continuum of care by offering innovative health screenings,
speakers, support groups, school programs, health education, and wellness
programs designed to promote health and increase access to healthcare services.
Each year, thousands of area residents benefit from CH@GH’s broad array of
programs and services. In the last fiscal year, Greenwich Hospital’s community
benefit efforts provided an estimated $53.1 million in healthcare resources to
Connecticut and New York residents.
This evening, I am pleased to honor and recognize our community partners:
Greenwich Emergency Medical Services, Harrison Emergency Medical
Services, and Port Chester-Rye-Rye Brook Emergency Medical Services for their
commitment to positively impacting the health of our community. Their lifesaving, pre-hospital medical care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year is
truly respected and admired.
As I’m sure you are well aware, no event such as this is possible without
the tireless efforts and dedication of many hardworking individuals. Event
Chair Geri Corrigan has skillfully led a volunteer committee of 24 enthusiastic
supporters who have helped to arrange every detail of this wonderful and
delicious evening.
Once again, thank you to all who have participated in Taste the Towns. Your
partnership helps us provide the gift of good health to so many of our neighbors.
Bon Appétit!
Sincerely,
NORMAN G. ROTH

Chicken Yakitori
Aux Délices
Chef Debra Ponzek
Servings: 8
Ingredients
10 cloves garlic
¼ cup chopped fresh rosemary
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
1 5 to 6 pound butterflied leg of lamb
¾ cup Dijon mustard
¾ cup red wine
½ cup canola oil
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
Kosher salt and freshly ground black
pepper to taste
Minted­Honey Mustard Sauce
(recipe follows)
For the Minted Honey Mustard
(Makes about ½ cup)
1
/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 to 3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white
balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
Stir together the mustard, honey,
vinegar, rosemary, and mint. Taste
and add more honey if desired.
The mustard sauce can be made
up to 24 hours ahead of time. Let
the sauce reach room temperature
before serving.
Preparation
Cut four of the garlic cloves
in half. Roughly chop the
remaining six. Mix together
the rosemary and mint.
Spread the lamb open on a
flat work surface. Using the
tip of a small, sharp knife,
make eight small slits into
the meat on the inside of the
lamb. Stuff the halved garlic
cloves into the slits. Spread
the mixed herbs over both
sides of the lamb. Transfer
the lamb to a glass, ceramic,
or other nonreactive dish
large enough to hold it
opened up. Mix together the
mustard, wine, oil, herbes de
Provence, and the remaining
garlic. Pour over the lamb,
cover the dish, and refrigerate the lamb for at least
8 hours or overnight.
Remove the lamb from the
refrigerator about 1 hour
before grilling. Wipe off the
marinade and remove and
discard the garlic halves.
Lay the lamb on a clean
platter and season both sides
with salt and pepper. Spray
the grilling grate of a gas or
charcoal grill with vegetable
oil spray. Preheat the grill to
medium hot. Grill the lamb
for 12 to 15 minutes on each
side for medium­rare lamb,
the internal temperature will
read 145°F for medium­rare.
The exact time will depend
on the thickness of the butterflied leg of lamb and the
desired degree of doneness.
Let the lamb rest on a cutting
board for 10 to 15 minutes
before slicing against the
grain. Serve with Minted
Honey Mustard.

For the Béchamel Sauce:
3 pints milk
3 ounces butter
3 ounces flour
Pinch of nutmeg
2 pinches salt
Pinch of pepper
1 ounce extra virgin olive oil
20 Taste the Towns | giving.greenhosp.org
Preparation
For the Crêpes:
Break eggs then whisk
with flour and a pinch of
salt until smooth. Fold in
milk until you have a liquid
consistency. Filter through
a sieve and ladle onto
hot flat surface. Cook like
a very thin pancake.
For the Short Rib Ragú:
Grind celery carrots and
onions, and braise them in
a pan with extra virgin olive
oil, salt, pepper and a touch
of garlic infused olive oil.
Season the short ribs with
oil and cook at 230-240˚F
for 9 hours. Add the ground
vegetables. Cook for another
hour. Let cool so you can
handle the meat, debone
and remove fat. Rough chop
the remaining meat and
let it cool. Make cannelloni
stuffing with the short ribs,
ricotta cheese, parmigiano
cheese, eggs, salt, pepper
and nutmeg.
For the Béchamel Sauce:
Boil milk in a small pot or
pan. Make a roux in a separate pan by melting butter
and whisking in flour. Whisk
roux into milk with nutmeg,
extra virgin olive oil and salt.
Cook for 10 minutes on a
very low flame. Let cool.
To Prepare the Dish:
Spread cannelloni stuffing
onto a crêpe with a spatula
and roll the crepe up into
a cylindrical shape. Layer
a tray with béchamel,
place cannelloni on top and
then cover with béchamel
sauce. Sprinkle with grated
parmigiano cheese. Make it
dirty by adding a little tomato
sauce on top. Add more
parmigiano cheese and make
au gratin by baking it in the
oven at 325˚F for 10 minutes.

Braised Short Rib, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes,
Whole Grain Mustard Beet Chutney
J House Restaurant
Chef Conor Horton
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 3 inch center cut bone-in
short ribs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups red cooking wine
½ cup tomato paste
4 cups veal stock or demi-glace
1 large Spanish onion
2 large carrots
1 head celery
1 bouquet de garnis (thyme,
black peppercorns, bay
leaves, garlic)
4 Idaho potatoes peeled
and diced into 1 inch by
1 inch pieces
6 cloves garlic
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
¼ pound unsalted butter
1 cup roasted beet finely diced
2 tablespoon minced jalapeño
2 tablespoons minced shallot
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoon whole
grain mustard
2 tablespoons finely
chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
Preparation
For the meat:
Preheat oven to 300˚F.
Dredge the short ribs in flour
and season with salt and
pepper. Heat a pot coated
in canola oil large enough
to hold the four pieces of
short rib. Add short ribs and
sear on all sides until golden
brown. Remove the short ribs
and add diced onion, carrot,
and celery. Once vegetables
are browned, add tomato
paste and stir until an almost
“rust” colored coating is
reached. Deglaze the pan
with the red wine. Add veal
stock and the bouquet de
garnis. Add browned short
rib ensuring that the liquid
just about covers the meat.
Season jus with salt and
pepper. Cover with aluminum
foil and place the pot in the
oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours
or until the meat is extremely
tender and the bones easily
slide from the meat. In the
meantime drink surviving
wine and begin preparing the
potatoes and beet salad.
For the potatoes:
Rinse peeled and diced
Idaho potatoes in cold water.
Add to a pot and fill with cold
water until the potatoes are
covered by 2 or 3 inches.
Place on stove and boil
until potatoes are tender and
can be easily broken apart
with a fork. In another small
sauté pan, add peeled garlic
cloves and cover with olive
oil. Slowly cook on the stove
until golden brown. Drain
water from potatoes and if
available, use a ricer or food
mill to break up potatoes.
Place “riced” potatoes back
in the pot and add cream,
butter, and roasted garlic.
Season generously with salt
and ground white pepper.
For the beets:
In small sauce pan, combine
diced, roasted beets,
minced shallot and jalapeno,
and brown sugar. Cook
until sugar has melted and
chutney consistency is
reached. Add chopped basil,
tarragon, and whole grain
mustard. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.
For the Jus:
Once the meat is cooked,
strain the cooking liquid.
This will be your jus. Skim the
fats and grease from the jus
using a small ladle. Slowly
reduce the liquid until the
desired consistency is
reached. To determine if a
sauce is reduced correctly,
place a small amount of the
sauce onto a plate using
a spoon. Run your finger
through the sauce. If the
canal made by your finger
holds up and the sauce does
not flood the space, the
sauce is done.
To plate:
Spoon mashed potatoes
in the center of the plate.
Place braised short rib atop
the potatoes. Spoon jus on
top of the meat and around
potatoes. Garnish with beet
chutney and fresh parsley.
The dish can be made
complete with some greens,
like roasted baby Brussels
sprouts or sautéed spinach
or kale.

Proof that advanced medicine
and human compassion go hand in hand.
Life doesn’t stand still. Life is ever changing. As is health care. At Greenwich Hospital, we believe
in the promise of health care’s future. And as part of one of the country’s most advanced health
systems, Yale New Haven Health, we bring you that future with more resources and more advanced
technology. It’s one of the reasons Greenwich Hospital is recommended by patients more than any
other acute care hospital in the Tri-State Area.* But with all that technology offers, we will always
be a hospital where care, compassion and understanding bring as much to healing as science.
That’s the Greenwich Hospital experience. greenwichhospital.org
