Every year around this time I like to make a posole with Iroquois corn from the Cayuga-Seneca Nation. Unfortunately they are not offering this dried corn anymore. Fortunately I do have a last bag that I added to the pinto bean posole I will be serving tomorrow along with corn arepas. Along with these local flavors I will be serving locally grown sweet potato from Three Stone Farm, steamed kale & cauliflower from Plowbreak Farms and lightly pickled cabbage salad from Remembrance Farms. We have been busy pickling kraut, fermenting grain into koji and making miso. Flavors that will come to life in 1-2 years from now. Tomorrow we will bring down a new miso, Chic-pea-Sprouted Mung bean on a freekeh koji. This is a fairly young miso but fully developed in flavor. Freekeh is a “green” smoked wheat. Picked young, the wheat berry is smoked but not burnt so the flavor is full and round. Since we make our own koji here in the kitchen we can adjust the flavors to reflect the seasonal changes our bodies inherently feel. Along with our meal we will also offer our kim chee, pickled daikon and other miso’s. Most of our ingredients are grown with 30 miles from us. Some of it grown and picked by us. As always, it’s a group effort by us……brought to you. Tomorrow, market starts at 10 and goes to 2. We are looking forward to seeing you all. I know some of you travel from Syracuse and Pa. So thank you…we so appreciate your support in our efforts to bring a diet that helps to support our health, our environment and the planet in the best way we can. Tomorrow will be rainy in the morning so dress appropriately.
