Campesino Paella

17/11/2022

Doing a TON of reflecting lately and I realize this is my season of gratitude 😌🙏 in business and in life!
I’m jumping on here to express my gratitude and absolutely joy to cook and share the experience of togetherness, community, comfort and FOOD!
Wishing for more of this for everyone!!

My grandparents, my muses ✨ Campesino is an homage to where we came from and in essence a central experience shared by all people ~ through food we can connect with each other in profound ways. Cooking paella is symbolic of this. A simple yet transformative dish, cooked as it has been for centuries; outside, over an open fire, smoke billowing, surrounded by eager hungry participants. Rustic and soulful. Poetic and humble. This is the food of our people ~ Sicilian, Spanish, Moorish heritage handed down through generations ~ Never forgetting that we are our ancestors wildest dreams and that we are part of a continuum with no beginning and no end.

✨🙏✨

Thank you, Chachi & Papa Don.

Food ✨Alchemy: Paella is all about process. This begins with selecting the best ingredients, understanding how they interact with salt, fat, acid, heat - an alchemical process of wood-fire on pan to coax these elements in unison 💥 the result is a dish bursting with flavor. The whole process is satisfying to me - start to finish made with love and intention.

If you need a quick last minute recipe for your gatherings today.. Try out Campesino Romesco! It’s vegan, quick and delish with just about anything!
-Toss a two large red bell peppers, a couple sweet cherry tomatoes and a clove of garlic in EVO sprinkle with flake salt and roast until slightly charred. (I often use a grill or wood fire 🔥 to make this recipe)
- Put all the yummy roasted goodness in the food processor with a handful of roasted salted almonds (sometimes I’ll use Marcona) add a third cup of olive oil and a splash of sherry vinegar, a pinch or two of sweet paprika, and a few red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth. (Sometimes I add some fresh parsley 🌿 in at the very end)
- Let chill in the fridge until ready to serve! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

This morning’s musing: I feel incredibly lucky to create and collaborate! Thank you to my wonderful clients who inevitably become friends and to my family who champions me to continue to build and grow everyday.

TOOLS 🛠 Cooking on-site always has it’s unique challenges, which is what makes it such an experience, guests are fascinated with my cooking tools, especially my pit🔥 After testing many, many types of pits quickly became my go-to. It’s light but extremely sturdy and if anyone has ever camped with one, it is the most efficient design for burning all types of wood/kindling! I retrofitted my Yukon, which is the largest model, to allow my pans to sit high enough for air flow and to feed the fire while cooking. With a few lumber straps from our local hardware store, the pit is a beast of a workhorse! As I continue to explore my relationship to wood fire cooking my tools seem to evolve with the process... I think of it as part of the alchemy. We are attracted to it because it’s so deeply a part of our human experience 🔥
