Our third visit as we work through the list of Boston Magazine's Hall of Fame restaurants is Toro. A hip little tapas spot created by two of my favorite chefs.

travel bite: Dallas-Fort Worth. Heim Barbecue, Velvet Taco, and Knife, helped make my trip to Texas one I will never forget.
culinary experiment: lamb neck
Most recipes for lamb neck call for a long slow cook, but I just had a slice and I didn't have three hours. I started by searing it on both sides in butter, oil, and rosemary, about five minutes per side. Then I added in some sliced shallot and cooked that down for a minute or two. I deglazed the pan with red wine and then added a cup of vegetable broth. I simmered it on low turning every fifteen minutes or so for about an hour. I finished it off with chopped fresh rosemary and crumbled feta cheese.
