Chef’s Dish: Maine Attraction


Portland, Maine-based Central Provisions frequently wows its patrons with unique – and delicious- offerings.

Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Ras El Hanout Dressing


This popular dish stays on the Central Provisions menu year-round. (At the restaurant, however, the cauliflower is fried, not roasted—if you own a deep fryer, you can try that method instead.) Make the dressing at least a day ahead to allow the intense flavors to meld.

Baby Green Salad with Pancetta and Frico


Creamy dressing, crisp vegetables, salty and crunchy pancetta and frico—this is a salad we want to eat every day.
