Tasty Tuesday: Cooking with Herbs
Herbs are one of the easiest thing for us to grow as urban home gardeners. With a few seeds and a little bit of love, your windowsill herb garden is pretty sure to thrive.
But what do you actually do with all those herbs? They're perfect for a fresh clipping to throw into your favorite pasta, but surely there's another way to use the sweet basil that's threatening to take over the entire window.
In this Tasting Tuesday, brought to you by Parker Red and Brooklyn Grange, we'll go through some more interesting ways of working with herbs. We'll start with a tasting tour of the farm, where we'll harvest and taste the wide variety of herbal plants we grow in their purest form.
From there, we'll head down to Parker Red's commercial kitchen to transform our harvest into products you'll use over and over again. Techniques such as infusion and dehydration will carry the flavor of fresh herbs into your cooking in an entirely different way. You'll whip up delicious snacks with the chef of Parker Red and learn how to cook like a pro.
You'll leave with a few take-homes to try in your own kitchen, and the knowledge to recreate them time and again.
MENU:
Herb Salted Potato Chips Grilled Baguettes with smoked ricotta and basil oil Thai Basil & Mint Lemonade with Kings County Bourbon
