Bruce High Quality Foundation at LAXART

Lamb and Mint Crostini on Leek Pea Mash 
Golden Beets, Dill and Pickled Onion Salad Cups

Fava Bean and Grana Crostini
Spent Easter Sunday with Bruce High Quality Foundation, discussing the relevance of advanced art education. Actually, I just listened but I  did make this food!

All Spring I was so crazy about the delicate flavors and colors of the season. I made as many fava bean dishes as I could bear. They are such hard work to get to but their freshness is not to be missed. This day, Easter, I thought a lot about rituals and renewal. As favas are planted as a soil replenisher, they really are the legume that symbolizes the cycle of winter's fallowing fields and their vernal rebirth.

I also made leek pea mash so many times! Saute leeks, defrost some frozen peas, puree them together with a little salt and maybe a squeeze of meyer lemon and the results are divine! I made it with many different combinations of lamb throughout the season. Terrific!
