Some of you already know that we have acquired the Brown Trout building. If all goes according to plan, this will be the final meal that we prepare in the old kitchen. We will make the move over Thankgiving week and, fingers crossed, will be cooking the 12/2 dinner in our new kitchen at the Brown Trout building.

But more about that next time! For now, let me tell you about this week's menu! I'm keeping our autumnal, comfort food-theme but this time with an Asian twist. Thinking roast chicken and organic Garnet sweet potatoes, baked with miso-maple glaze. Something about the combination of miso, with it's salty funkiness, combined with sweet maple and the schmaltzy roast chicken, is just amazing and delicious. Brussels sprouts are coming in, too, so I will roast them till nice and caramelized with a little ginger & thyme.

It's finally time for ramen! "Tantanmen" is a Japanese take on Sichuan Dan Dan noodles and it's one of my favorites.

Tantanmen-
Japanese ramen noodles simmered in a rich, creamy broth of chicken stock with white sesame paste, ginger and doubanjiang. The ramen will be topped with minced organic chicken (seasoned with fresh ginger and fermented Chinese soybeans), bean sprouts, steamed baby bokchoy, spinach, scallions and marinated silken tofu with aji mirin. To top it off, I'm making handmade chili crisp.

Mochi "Brownies"-
If you haven't tried Hawaiian butter mochi, you are in for a treat! It's made with Mochiko sweet rice flour which gives it a chewy "mochi" texture. In this version, we add bittersweet chocolate to the mochi to make brownies.

Here's the menu for Tuesday, September 30th. The last of the local Castella-grown tomatoes will be coming in this week and I don't want to miss them! I will use them as the base of this classic Moroccan meatball tagine. The combination of stewed fresh tomato with peppers, onions and garlic is similar to Tunisian "shakshuka," of which I'm a huge fan!

Moroccan Meatball Tagine-
Little meatballs of spiced organic chicken, simmered in a stew of fresh local tomatoes, roasted peppers, harissa, garlic and olive oil, served with yogurt and chopped fresh herbs.

Couscous-

Here's the menu for Tuesday 9/16. It's been a while since we have offered this entree, mostly because it's so difficult to make! We are ready to brave the arduous process once again, layering fillo dough for hours on end, to bring you our Spanakopita Pie :) It's really delicious and nourishing, and I can't think of many other dishes that pack so many organic greens into each yummy bite. For dessert, I tried to tie in the flavors of fall with our Mediterranean menu... I'm thinking the spices in Turkish coffee meet roasted organic pumpkin = Pumpkin Spice Brownies! And I can't help but to finish them with a cream cheese swirl.

Here's the menu for this Tuesday, 9/9!

Caribbean Jerk Chicken Bowl-
Free range boneless chicken breast and thigh, marinated with jerk seasoning: a classic Jamaican flavor profile with allspice, green onion, brown sugar and chilies. The recipe I'm using has a bit of Guinness, ginger and lime juice as well. It's a little spicy, but I can make a completely mild version upon request. The base of the bowl will be Jamaican "rice and peas" which is basically a fragrant coconut rice simmered with red beans. Toppings will include organic avocado, pineapple salsa, and rainbow slaw of carrots, cabbage & multicolored peppers.

Strawberry Mango Trifle-
organic mangos, peaches and strawberries with chunks of vanilla cake and whipped cream.
