Micro Greens

Here are a couple items I got from my friend Jeremy at KJ Greens today.

The one is a 3-Way pack of micro greens, the other is wasabi mustard greens. It has a great mustard flavor with a slight, rounded heat from the wasabi.

The wasabi mustard greens will be used on our salmon dish, which is cedar roasted salmon, potato latkes, mustard greens, and crab cream sauce. It is great knowing that the mustard greens are local.

The micro greens will be used wherever, which my include our weekend specials:

1) Butternut squash risotto, red wine braised chicken thigh, crispy parmesan

2) Duck confit, cassoulet (white beans, house-cured pancetta, soppressata, carrots, onion, celery, thyme)

Looking forward to a busy weekend! Will you be joining us?
