Connecticut Favorite Entrees


Return to Entrees index
↠ White Clam Pizza:
Description:  A signature New Haven-style white clam pizza features a thin, char-crusted dough topped with fresh chopped cherry stone clams, aromatic garlic, oregano, olive oil, and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. This savory, briny pie often excludes mozzarella, relying on the clams' natural liquor to flavor the crust.

↠ Connecticut-Style Hot Lobster Roll:
Description:  A Connecticut-style hot lobster roll features fresh, tender, warm lobster meat lightly tossed in melted butter, served in a toasted top-split bun. Unlike the cold, mayo-based Maine version, this classic, minimalist entree focuses on the natural sweetness of the lobster, often garnished with lemon or chives.

↠ Yankee Pot Roast:
Description:  Yankee Pot Roast is a classic New England comfort food entrée featuring a tender, slow-braised beef roast—typically chuck—cooked with root vegetables in a savory broth. It is a one-pot meal that transforms tougher cuts of meat into a fork-tender, shredded or sliced dish.

↠ New England Clam Chowder:
Description:  New England Clam Chowder is a rich, thick, and creamy soup—often served as a hearty entree—originating from the Northeastern United States. It is characterized by its white, milk- or cream-based broth, which is packed with tender clams, diced potatoes, onions, and salt pork or bacon.

↠ Connecticut Beef Supper:
Description:  Connecticut Beef Supper is a classic, hearty comfort food casserole featuring layers of browned ground beef (or cubed stew meat), sliced potatoes, and a creamy soup-based sauce, topped with cheddar cheese and crushed cornflakes. It is baked at 350°F until bubbly and tender, creating a rich, creamy, and crunchy one-dish meal.
