Oyster Mushroom Po' Boy

Chiogga Beets with Citrus, Walnuts, and Cashew Crema

We love beets, especially chiogga beets, and will turn them into a delicious salad with fresh citrus, toasted walnuts, cashew crema and fresh herbs
Okra Gumbo w/Wild Rice
Entree
A classic okra gumbo served up with our mixture of Japanese Haiga Mai & Wild rice, scallions and file powder. We'll start it with the 'holy trinity' of cajun cooking, onions, celery, and bell peppers. We'll add a lot of garlic, some seared okra, a long cooked roux, a rich stock, and 8 different herbs and spices. Then top it off with a mix of white, brown, and wild rice, topped with scallions, parsley, and file powder. We don't overcook the vegetables, so it's still bright, but very hearty.
Mindful Baking Sweet Potato Pie
Dessert
A tasty (and gluten free) sweet potato pie made by our friends at Mindful Baking
