Braised in a rich tangle of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic until the meat pulls apart and the sauce clings to every bite. Bold, savory, and deeply comforting, this is farm-to-fork cooking with real roots.
Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. This recipe comes together fast and you likely already have most of the ingredients in your pantry! This is the perfect dish to welcome in early spring produce and was originally published in Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden. We only adjusted a few things to our preferences.
The lamb noodle stalls of Xi'an have been slow-cooking lamb with cumin, chili, and a little fire for centuries — and once you taste that combination, you understand why it stuck. This sandwich borrows from that tradition: our pasture-raised lamb braised low and slow until tender, layered with toasted cumin, dried chilies, and fresh herbs, all tucked into a crusty roll.
In Mexico, barbacoa is a twelve hour long process, slow-cooking meat until it falls apart at the lightest touch. Here, we speed up the process and keep all the flavor.
This dip is a touchdown at any tailgating party. Based on a classic buffalo-style dip, but our El Puente sauce takes the field. Pair it with your favorite sliced veggies or chips.
If you love a kebab, but don’t like fussing with skewers, this is the recipe for you! It gives you all the flavor in half the time, and you can swap the pita for roasted sweet potatoes or something else nutritious!
These little bite-sized bahn mi pack all the punch of our favorite sandwich in a quick, crowd-friendly format! They’re right at home in a tailgating spread or a backyard BBQ. This recipe makes 8-10 meatballs.
We're mastering this recipe in late winter so we can celebrate the fact that spring is right around the corner. We used canned artichokes here, but it would be just as good with pea vines, garlic scapes, wilted nettles, or asparagus - once they’re in season!
Braising is an excellent skill to learn to take advantage of more affordable cuts of meat. Once the meat is braised and off the bone it can be used for sandwiches, pastas, stews, tacos… you name it! Here we braised a lamb shoulder roast, but this skill can be applied to shanks, short ribs, chuck roast, and necks and tails as well.
Chef Schu’s Fennel Salt Mix pairs deliciously with our pasture-raised lamb here. Its bright, sweet flavor cuts through the richness of the chops, while its aromatic qualities complement lamb's savory notes, creating a balanced and vibrant profile. Paired with a zingy cucumber salad it’s the perfect refreshing, yet hearty meal.
Toasty sesame and zingy lime pair up here to counter carrot’s natural sweetness. If you have a spiralizer, now is the time to dust it off! This is a great salad to serve alongside a rich cut of meat, and a nice way to bulk up a meal with an affordable vegetable! We love this dish served with our Miso Lemongrass Glazed Lamb Ribs.
Bright lemongrass and savory miso come together in this cozy lamb rib dish. The ribs turn wonderfully tender, soaking up all that glaze for a meal that feels both special and easygoing. We like it paired with our Sesame Lime Carrot Salad and steamed rice.
Who said leg of lamb is just for Easter? Here we give it the apple cider braising treatment. Served up with roasted apples and root vegetables this is such a simple and delicious dinner for the dark nights ahead. We recommend serving it with some toasted slices of our Farmview Sourdough.
A charcuterie board is more than just a snack spread — it’s a centerpiece that sparks conversation and brings people together. Here’s how to create one your guests will love.
Steak tartare is one of the easiest, most delicious appetizers you can make at home to really wow your guests. It’s important to purchase your beef from a trusted local shop in order to minimize the risks associated with eating raw beef. We handle ours with the utmost care, ensuring it is never out of refrigeration. Bonus—tenderloin is also a no-waste cut thanks to its lack of large fat veins and rubbery connective tissue. It's not the cheapest piece of beef, but you'll at least use every bit of it in your tartare.
