There was a buzz going around the Santa Monica Farmer’s about a month ago because there was a new vendor, Frog Hollow Farm, that was offering the most spectacular pears I have ever wrapped my greedy mouth around. In this case, believe the hype. They taste as nuanced as a fine wine and, sadly, they are almost done for the year. Get them while you can on our truck tonight at Silverlake Wine in a delicious and colorful salad. Here’s the rest of the menu:
Slow Braised Pork Shoulder over Fagioli Beans
with Mc Grath Farms Charred Baby Green Onions + Apple Chutney
Housemade Spaghetti Verde + Lamb “Polpettine” Meatballs
with Roasted Tomato Sauce + Buratta + Parmesean
Braised Stuffed Cone Cabbage (Vegan)
in a Tomato Broth with Roasted Fennel, Dill, + Bulgar Wheat
Jidori Chicken Breast Picatta + Cavatelli
with Brown Butter, Chenin Blanc + Caper Berries
Root Beer Marinated Smoked Ham Slider
on Brioche Buns with Whole Grain Mustard, House Cured Saurkraut + Arugula
Frog Hollow Pear Salad with Nutmeg + Apple Cider Vinaigrette
over Speckled Greens, Housemade Ricotta + Wild Radicchio
And of Course…. Assorted Lasagna Cupcakes.
Frog Hollow was my favorite vendor when I lived in SF (recent LA transplant). If you like their pears, you should try the peaches. Spectacular!
