"This is definitely a late winter type of dish," says Chris Albrecht, executive chef of Eno Terra in Kingston. "I particularly like the celery root purée that is the base of the dish and the richness of the lentils.

"It's very easy to put spinach or some other green in the dish in itself, but I chose to incorporate it in the pasta to make it a little more lively and colorful," says Chris Albrecht, executive chef of Eno Terra in Kingston. "The oxtail is very rich. You could substitute short ribs or even beef brisket. Cippolini onions and sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) are very high in nutrition and flavor. All the ingredients are available now and even throughout the summer."...
