Garlic Fermented in Honey
Each Fall we plant cloves and anxiously await the first shoots in spring. Summer brings on the harvest, drying, storing and (reluctant) sharing. This year I’ve been inspired by a friend and am trying a new style of preserving: Fermented Garlic Honey.
Seafood Inspired Compound Butter
Here's a quick recipe for our go to summertime pantry staple. Compound butter is a must for lobster bakes, grilled oysters and let's be honest - everyday! So here's to July in Maine, the ultimate seafood wonderland.
Classic Kimchi
We've been fans of kimchi for years and this recipe inspired us to make this bright and acidic treat at home. The recipe tips and jarring techniques are especially helpful for first time fermentors. Kimchi is a great addition to ramen bowls, pairs well with grilled white fish, and is delicious on its own as a quick snack.
Roasted Beet Hummus with Urfa Infused Olive Oil and Syrian Za'atar Flatbread
Who doesn't love hot pink hummus with a kick? Aromatic and citrusy Za'atar is typically used on flatbreads, so we paired it with a bright, beautiful (and healthy) dip, roasted beet hummus. To amp up the Middle Eastern flavor, we drizzled urfa infused olive oil over the hummus too. Urfa is a Turkish chile pepper with medium heat and a rich chocolate flavor. This is a fabulous crowd-pleasing appetizer that is simple to make and unique enough to stand out.
Quick Pickled Red Onions
Pickled red onions are a delicious and vibrant topping to many common dishes. A few of our favorite hosts: Fish Tacos, Greek Salad, and Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Anything you want to add an acidic kick (and a beautiful color) to, simply add these on top. They're so easy to make!
Salsa Roja
This authentic Salsa Roja has a delicious depth of flavor. The charred smoky and spicy chiles mixed with earthy mexican oregano, floral coriander, and sweet and acidic tomatoes make for a great topping for enchiladas, tacos, or with tortilla chips.
Smoked Maple Salmon Spread
We served this in the shop for one of our Holiday events and it was a hit! It is incredibly simple.
