At the moment’s cabbage soup recipe was impressed by the a thriller field supply from Mariquita Farm in Watsonville, Ca. I present as much as a chosen pick-up spot, pay $25 and in flip get what seems like twenty kilos of gorgeous produce direct from the farm. This time of yr I’d see the eyes of impossibly petite potatoes peering again at me, they may very well be nestled alongside a kaleidoscope of vibrantly coloured carrots, or shouldered up in opposition to a of pile of parsnips.
Cabbage Soup Substances
Taking inspiration from an attractive moon-shaped cabbage and potatoes within the thriller field, I sliced a the cabbage into skinny ribbons and cooked it down in a easy pot of sautéed potatoes, beans, onions, garlic and flavorful broth. Every bowl was completed with a beneficiant drizzle of nice olive oil, a pair dabs of bitter cream and a jolt of one thing spicy – on this case a little bit of Calabrian chile paste. Could not be extra easy.
However earlier than I get too far forward of myself on the soup entrance, let me let you know a bit extra about Mariquita Farm and what Andy and Julia are doing. There is a little bit of again story. I used to purchase produce from Mariquita on the farmers market on Saturdays. After a few years they determined to not do the market anymore. Mariquita sells my favourite rainbow carrots, and I used to be satisfied I used to be going to need to discover a new supply. Not the case, Julia emailed a few of her regulars final summer season mentioning that she could be making the occasional supply to San Francisco…“would we be excited by doing a pick-up?” She additionally talked about the choice of shopping for one in all Andy’s specifically curated thriller bins – which have since grow to be very talked-about.
This is not a CSA, it is extra guerilla than that. Because it stands now, each different week(ish) Julia and Andy pack an enormous supply truck with many, many thriller bins. Julia then climbs into the large truck and navigates her method over the Santa Cruz mountains down into Silicon Valley after which north towards San Francisco. She parks the truck in entrance of a beforehand designated neighborhood restaurant and folks come from everywhere in the metropolis to commerce money for thriller crops. It is nice. I find yourself attempting all method of elements I won’t purchase in any other case. The crops are lovely and vivid as a result of Andy takes such care in rising and dealing with them.
With out sounding too mushy, that is simply another reason I like dwelling in San Francisco. On a great night time, not solely do I’m going house with the field (er, bag – the bins get reused), however generally I even get to sit down down for a drink or slice of pizza and meet up with Julia. It is an actual deal with.
