Stone House - Dinner in the Fields

Gathering clouds and a sudden shower did nothing to dampen Stone House at Stirling Ridge's first Dinner in the Fields.

The food, all sourced from local farmers and the Stone House's own beautifully laid out kitchen garden, was simply too good for us to abandon just because of a few raindrops. We diners grabbed umbrellas and kept right on eating--and what a repast there was to be had!

Garden vegetable soup, perfectly showcasing the best of what Chef Villa's garden had to offer, roasted pork with fennel, sausages, roasted chicken, stuffed tomatoes, the last of the garden's beets, peach crostada--it all just kept coming, and we all kept eating, washing each course down with wines from Hopewell Valley Vineyards and beers from the New Jersey Brewing Company.

Once the last coffee was drunk and the last s'more toasted over the nearby open fire pit, we bade new acquaintances goodbye and went home, satiated, with a box of leftovers that carried us through the week and reminded us every night of that wonderful al fresco dinner.

Roast Beet and Fennel Salad

“As with many people, my childhood experience of beets was not a positive one,” says Jerry Villa, executive chef of Stone House restaurant at Stirling Ridge in Warren, NJ. “We ate the canned variety, and I never liked them. Once I had fresh beets, however, it all changed for me, and now I love them. Especially when roasted, which brings out their earthy sweetness, beets are incredibly flavorful, and extremely healthy for you.”

“Now with our Dancing Goat Farm, I use the beets grown in our own garden.”
