Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes

Show Mom some love this weekend with a fresh and easy brunch highlighted by Shiitake mushrooms, endive frisée, asparagus, French Breakfast radishes, juicy mandarins and more. Serve up these seasonal favorites alongside a housemade frittata, English-style bacon rashers, and whatever else you’ve decided to whip up from a roaster that includes our silky crème fraîche, rich duck eggs, and fragrant herbs like chives and parsley, all while Mom sits back and relaxes with a cup of locally-roasted coffee. Cheers!

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

Crème Fraîche Salad Dressing
Creamy, yet light, this dressing is fantastic tossed with pretty much any type of salad greens.

Charred Red Spring Onion Gremolata

This beloved sauce is wonderful spooned atop tacos, too!

Ingredients:
3-4 spring onions
3 small lemons
2 garlic cloves, skins on
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Method:
1. Cut off the roots of the onions, and trim about an inch off their greens. Cut the lemons into thin slices, reserving the ends for another use. Toss the scallions, lemon slices, and garlic with the oil, salt and pepper.

2. Grill until charred on all sides, being careful not to burn the garlic. Let cool in a bowl.

3. Peel the garlic and mince. Finely chop the lemons and onions. Mix everything together with the parsley. Add salt if desired.
