WALTERmanzke  Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is presented under the stars at the Bowl this week. Chef Walter Manzke of République, while known for his talents in regard to French cuisine, was a San Diego kid enjoying the seasonality of local fruits and vegetables long before most chefs began talking about it.“Music generates an energy in a restaurant, creating the environment you want to dine in. For me, it’s a balance of finding different personalities—it can’t be too loud, too quiet, too old, too young. When you enter a restaurant, music gives you an immediate sense of the vibe and flow of the space.” —Walter Manzke For more information visit: republiquela.com

Performances Magazine PRESENTS THIS WEEK'S RECIPES:
CHOPPED SALAD Serves 6 INGREDIENTS Veggies:
  • 3 cups Little Gem lettuce
  • 1 cup radicchio, chopped
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup chopped asparagus
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh mozzarella (as desired)
  • Pickled Fresno chilies, sliced (as desired)

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste
PROCEDURE
  1. Fold peas, asparagus, cucumber, red onion, chickpeas, tomatoes, and Fresno chilies together into a bowl with enough dressing to lightly coat. Set aside.
  2. Combine lettuces in larger container for transport.
  3. When ready to serve, toss lettuces with remaining dressing.
  4. Add chopped vegetable mixture and toss.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
  CHEF’S NOTE: This salad’s great on a summer evening at the Bowl. If you want to add a protein (chicken, cured meat, etc.), feel free to toss in at the end.

JAMBON-BEURRE SANDWICH Serves 4-6 INGREDIENTS
  • 2 baguettes (you can get them at République!)
  • Butter
  • Ham
  • Cornichons
PROCEDURE
  1. Cut baguettes down the center lengthwise. Butter both inner sides. Layer ham as desired. Layer cornichons as desired. Serve
  CHEF’S NOTE: Use the best butter and ham you can find for an exceptionally delicious sandwich. If you’re using the best ingredients, the sandwich is deliciously satisfying and yet completely simple. There’s something about the saltiness from the ham, the acid from the cornichons and the creaminess of the butter that brings out the sweetness in the combination.
