Every season has its blessings. We had an extended season of maple syrup-ing, and now the cool, dampness of spring brings us a longer leek season. Even though we crave those warmer days the coolness allows us to enter the Summer months gracefully. We are highlighting the alliums on this week’s menu: Shallot scallions in the risotto, fresh wild leeks in the pesto and the chic peas, and freshly picked French sorrel from the back yard. How’s that for a nod to Spring?
Plow Break, Blue Heron, Muddy Fingers, Stick-n-Stone, and Remembrance Farms are just some of the local farms whose produce is featured in this meal.
Look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Bean and ricely yours,
