With the abundance of spring's offerings grown in the Hudson Valley, it is easy to put together a simple yet delectable meal consisting of produce and protein found not far from our urban home. An easy walk to the nearest farmers' market can provide all of the ingredients necessary for a delicious and conscientious meal. Anthony Sasso, chef de cuisine at Casa Mono, will discuss the importance of sustainability and lead you through the preparation of ingredients that have traveled very few miles from the farm to your table. You'll make: Grilled Asparagus with Warm Organic Eggs; Curried Beets and Carrots with Lime Yogurt and Coriander; Dandelions with Fresh Ricotta and Pork Belly; Fluke with Brown Butter and Roasted Broccoli; Shrimp on Toast with Red Mustard Greens; Farm-Raised Chicken with Mushy Peas and Caramel Mint; Monkfish Medallions with Creamed Spinach and Shiitake; and Squash Blossom Tortilla with Ramps.
