La Stalla

.
My dear friend Suzanne visited me recently and at the recommendation of her mother, she wanted to go to Asisisi (photo courtesy of Suzanne). Assisi is a wonderful city to visit full of history and beauty, but for me the highlight of our visit was having lunch again at La Stalla, The Stables, a countryside trattoria. It was formerly livestock stalls and is made of stone walls and low-beamed ceilings with long, wooden communal tables. I had eaten there once before several years ago and it was a fun and memorable experience. Suzanne ordered the sausage with polenta and a ragu sauce, delicious. I had grilled lamp chops and polenta al forno, a baked polenta with sliced mushrooms and topped with a layer of gooey cheese. Ahhh....
