Asty Time
7340 McGraw Ave., Detroit; 313-285-9390
Passionate, loquacious, smiley, and energetic these are the words that describe Asty, and it's part of the charm of the restaurant. The best dishes at Asty are those that get the
sofrito treatment. Sofrito is a slurry of aromatics that's the base of much of Caribbean cooking, and the Dominican Republic is no different. Asty's variation is comprised of sautéed garlic, onions, bell peppers, celery, oregano, green onions, cilantro, lime, and small amount of soy sauce.
