“Jersey Gems with Chef Franco” is pleased to announce it’s first showing on HomeTowne TV on Easter Sunday 2012. This show has an Easter theme where Chef Franco showcases Iselin, New Jersey’s, Oak Tree Road area, also known as “Little India”. The neighborhood is home to a Halal butcher shop where Franco purchases a goat and returns home to prepare a delicious Easter-themed Mediterranean dish. Enjoy!
These are the recipes from my first show. “Easter Goat & Spring Pea Risotto” The delicious goat was bought in Iselin, New Jersey’s “Little India” at the Shalimar Halal Meats and Groceries.
India consists of many different religions – Christianity, Buddhism, Hindu, and, yes, Muslim, too. And, just because you see some Arabic writing on the front of an Indian shop or food market doesn’t mean it should be a place to avoid.
The television show “Jersey Gems” with Chef Franco will bring to the forefront things of a culinary nature that would surprise many when thinking of the State of New Jersey – bringing to life culinary gems and places that New Jerseyans can be proud of.
