Cauliflower Crisp

Local Food: A crisp isn't just for dessert!  Steven makes a savory crisp with cauliflower from Hatchbrook Gardens, roasted to bring out their earthy and nutty flavor.  Macoun apples from Burtt's Apple Orchard in Cabot are sautéed to add a bit of sweetness next to Steven's bacon, made from Snug Valley Farm pork belly.  Whole grain mustard crema made with Hill Farmstead Brewery Society & Solitude #5 and Sweet Rowen milk adds a bit of spice and creaminess to complement the earthy flavors of the crisp. Steven tops the dish with crunchy breadcrumbs and bakes it until brown and the flavors have combined.  The cauliflower crisp is a warm and cozy way to start your dinner.

At the Bar: Remember our Sunday and Monday drink specials. Sunday, November 18th we offer a $2.50 pint of Rock Art Midnight Madness, a $4 glass of Boyden Valley Seyval Blanc or Big Barn Red. Our Maple Manhattan, with whiskey, maple syrup and Urban Moonshine Organic Bitters, is offered for $5. Monday enjoy a pint of Switchback with Grilled Cheese for $8.50.
