Haute hospital cuisine
The Ravioli with Montrachet and Herbs is finished with cream and chives and costs less than $5. The Stuffed Sole with Red Pepper Coulis and Lime Gremolata gets fewer than a third of its calories from fat. Other selections on any given day could include Moroccan Chicken Tangine or Blackened Salmon with Apple Bourbon Chutney. It’s easy to find these and similar entrees in Clark County for an average of $5.50 per dish. Just head on down to the hospital.
