New Amsterdam Market Benefit April 9th: Oyster Saloon (with a very special pickle)
Oysters all around.
Our good friend and market visionary Robert LaValva is hosting another smorgasbord/fundraiser on April 9 to benefit his New Amsterdam Market. We’ve been working with Robert since year one of the Market and his benefit parties are not only a worthy expenditure but a hoot. This time, he’s asked us to roll up our sleeves and make something special for the event. We concluded it would be fun to do a pickled carrot. We agreed it should be aromatic and spicy. And I have a secret agenda… I’ve been looking for a reason to fool around with Szechuan Peppercorns. I see great things in the future for this pickle.
These ingenues and their friends are about to meet some interesting peppercorns from Szechuan Province.
I’ll keep you posted when I do the recipe test next week. You can get tickets to the event here.
