During this pandemic, I have really enjoyed fresh, organic produce. When the US first went into shelter in place, I kind of went into panic mode and was afraid that food supply chains would collapse, and while we saw some effects on the food industry, it was nothing compared to my imagination. Anyway, in my panic I felt like it was really important to explore food delivery because at the time the grocery store shelves were barren and I couldn't deal with the stress of running out of onions again. So, I signed up for Imperfect Foods and started picking up produce from our local farm. Aside from the obvious nutritional benefits and earth friendly aspects of organic, it just tastes better! I know it's silly, but something as simple as trying sunchokes, or a new kind of cheese, or local wine, helped break up the monotony of quarantine life. Even as the world finds its new normal, I hope to carry these newfound food habits with me.
Most of this recipe was shopped at Imperfect Foods, the fresh herbs were from our Lettuce Grow, and shoutout to the Urban Edge Farm for the delicious balsamic!
