sprouts. shoots. heirlooms. beans & globes. hemp balsamic with lemon.
bariani balsamic vinegar from california. i am obsessed with it right now. find it. taste it. it’s incredible.
it’s saturday. this morning i hit the greenmarket in fort green. i dropped off my frozen compostables & picked up some nice local vegetables. red & green leaf lettuce. romaine. lettuce. sweet corn. globe radish. yellow wax beans. sunflower sprouts. buckwheat shoots. purslane. dill. striped heirloom tomatoes. white peaches.
this room temp spelt berry “salad” was so right on. the chewy textures of the the spelt & corn matched with the bright flavors of the green herbs blend so well with the sweetness of the onions & beets.
spelt berries. beets. corn. with dill & cilantro.

1 small beet. peeled. minced.
1 clove garlic. minced
1 inch of ginger. minced.
fresh dill.
cilantro leaves.
olive oil.
sea salt.
fresh cracked black pepper.
lemon.
add oil to hot pan add onions turn down heat and cook onions slow and low and do not burn them, almost carmelize them. add garlic. ginger.salt & pepper. add beets cook down add squeeze of lemon. cook down. add corn and stir through. add soaked spelt and cover with 2 cups of water. bring to boil then simmer low until water is gone. taste firmness of spelt more water may be needed. i usually keep the pan uncovered. if the berries are being stubborn give them a cover for a few. also check seasoning. when it’s ready remove from heat and chill down. chop dill & cilantro and toss through spelt berries. squeeze lemon toss with olive oil. check taste for salt & pepper. eat it. hot or cold. i served it room temp with grilled baby eggplant and chanterelle mushrooms.. the photos stunk. the taste was everything i wanted.
