Jibarra is bringing local produce to the table on Wednesday, July 29 with a three-course dinner. The set menu goes for $35 per person:
First Course: Farm-grown heirloom tomatoes salad, NC honey-sweetened chorizo oil, a fruity basil habanero salsa and rehydrated lime-infused fresco cheese.
Bite-size Trio: Pan-blazed NC shrimp with an awakening beet puree; smoked queen corn esquites with Anejo Cheese and Pasilla Chile; garlic Littlenecks in a spicy coconut milk broth.
Entrée: Deep-fried, masa-encrusted soft-shell crab, with fresh vegetables, yellow tomato emulsion, tomatillo salsa and avocado marinated in extra virgin olive oil. (Soft-shell crab is a seasonal item that may not be available. The substitution for the soft-shell would be a Vermillion Snapper presented in the same manner.)
Jibarra is located in the Depot Building downtown - 327 W. Davie St. Suite 102. For more information or to make reservations online check out their website.
