Eat This: New Menu Items at Outpost

Look no further than Goleta to sample a jewel of local cuisine, because Outpost’s new menu offers some of the best of summer’s delights. Locally sourced and vibrant, new menu items from Chef Nick Bajal offer a creative spin on staple SoCal dishes. The appetizers are unique and proportional, the entrées hearty and delicious, and the cocktails energetic and diverse. Here’s a look at some of the most sensational new dishes:

Summer Squash Empanadas: Elegantly toasted and full of flavor, the summer squash empanadas are the perfect appetizer. Bursting with summer squash and queso fresco, these empanadas taste uniquely Mediterranean, with a fragrantly flavorful pumpkin-seed pesto. The taste is powerful but not overwhelming.

Pork and Chicken Meatballs: Melt-in-your-mouth delicious, the juicy pork prevents the meatballs from drying out while the chicken packs in the flavor. They are served in a savory soubise and garnished with a vegetable and lime giardiniera and fresh herbs. The pork and chicken meatballs are a fabulous start to your meal.
