OK, I am a lucky dude - this is her passion...
So MissiG signs up of the local farmers market seasonal mystery box... essentially you committ to buying a box of produce, not knowing what is in it... every 2 weeks you can pick up the box at a different restaurant in SF. The box cost $25 and LOADED w/ a week's worth of fruit and veggies (for about same cost as a puny bag of fruit/veggies from Whole Foods).
The recipe was one of improv, w/ things borrowed from a few different recipes... bulk of the ingredients came from the mystery box.
Starter: purslane and baby romaine lettuce salad w/ egg and a lemon and olive oil dressing.
Main course: walnut crusted chicken w/ a blackberry mint sauce over sautéed erbette chard
Side: pan-roasted baby red potatoes w/ gremolata
Sweet ending: warm blackberry peach crisp w/ side of Stoneyfield Famrs frozen vanilla yogurt.
