On Tuesday November 17th,  Zebra’s Bistro and Wine Bar in Medfield, Ma., will host a Gluten-free, five-course Autumn Dinner.  To begin, assorted crostini will be served followed by  Southwestern Corn and Sweet Potato Chowder.  The third course will be a salad of baby greens, roast pears, goat cheese and spiced nuts with a honey cider vinaigrette.  The main course will feature Roast Stuffed Pork Loin with a fig and date stuffing and pan gravy.  For dessert, a special pound cake will be presented with sauteed bananas and warm Myer’s rum foster sauce!  This is available for $39 per person by reservation only.

 Aside from special gluten-free dinners and other events, the bistro has many gluten-free, allergen friendly choices on their menu. The Short Ribs braised in red wine with a side of root vegetables over horseradish mashed potatoes, or the “Duck Two Ways”, which includes a pan seared duck breast over broccolini with a pomegranate-pear reduction sauce, and duck confit over wild Zebra rice with blood orange sauce are two delectable entrees worth trying.  Other entrees to try are the Grilled Chicken, Dry-aged Black Angus Sirloin steak or the White Sirloin (pork loin).  All of these are served with creative side dishes.  There is also Caesar salad with gluten-free croutons, seafood paella and even flourless chocolate cake for dessert!  The servers and chef are allergen aware and there is even an employee with celiac disease.
