Hi. Did you also get a little overzealous with your sungold planting & now have so many you literally don’t know what to do with them? Same. We’ve been putting them in EVERYTHING. Luckily they go with everything & are good on everything, but I feel like I’m picking them three times a day & they never thin out!!!
So I’m back again with another sungold recipe to use them in a little bit of a fun & different way. This is the perfect topping for grilled protein, potatoes, you name it!
Charred Scallion (or Garleek) & Sungold Chimichurri
Ingredients
• 1 bunch scallions (or garleek) (trimmed, charred, finely chopped)
• 2 small garlic cloves, grated
• 3/4 cup sungold tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or Aleppo to taste)
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Zest of half a lemon
Instructions
1. Grill or broil scallions until lightly charred. Let cool, then chop.
2. In a bowl, lightly mash the chopped sungold tomatoes to release juices but keep some texture.
3. Stir in scallions, garlic, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, chili flakes, and oil. Mix until spoonable but juicy.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and citrus zest if using. Be generous with salt. Tomatoes love salt, don’t be shy!!
5. Let sit 15+ minutes at room temp before serving.
If you want to make the rest of this, grill a hanger steak to medium rare, halve mini potatoes & toss in olive oil & seasonings then roast till crispy and serve over labneh or Greek yogurt mixed with garlic sauce or toum & season to taste. Top with chimichurri!

This is our new Pla Pad Ton Kratiam - Wok fried barramundi with Sweet Garleek, Chinese celery, and long hot peppers. The garleek, which is sweet and so delicious, comes from @chefdanbarber's Row 7 Seed Company (@row7seeds), which is currently celebrating Sweet Garleek Month in August. Row 7’s sweet garleek is the result of combining garlic and leeks, resulting in something delicious which we are so excited to be using on our menu. 💚💚
burnt lettuce
——————————————————————————————
we really love something about the slightly burnt taste of lettuce you get when you cook it over a hot flame so that it caramelizes just the outer layers, but the inner layers are still fresh and crunchy. craving that tonight, we made a super simple weeknight meal, highlighting the excellent produce we’re seeing at the @unsqgreenmarket market right now! first, we made a vinaigrette to play around with some of our goodies from @nomaprojects- highlighting their ‘kyoto secret peaso’ (made w split peas and kaznuri), nordic shoyu and just a touch of mushroom garum. we blended those ingredients with @kosterina olive oil, red wine vinegar, @row7seeds sweet garleek and shallots. we then brushed the dressing on @row7seeds spinach lettuce and seared it quickly on an extremely hot pan to caramelize the surface. we then stuffed the inner leaves with a slaw made from badger flame beets, hakurei turnips, lacto-fermented @regalisfoods white asparagus we made earlier this summer, toasted sesame and raw garleek, mixed with the same vinaigrette. topped with slices of fried sweet garleek and more toasted sesame for some additional textures. plated on some really cool plates from @connormcginnstudios. all fresh produce was from @norwichmeadowsfarm and tasting 🤤😋!

When @chefdanbarber and @row7seeds ask if you want to try their new vegetable invention-the answer is a quick YES!
So, this month #aoc is partnering with them to help introduce the world to Sweet Garleek, the first-ever cross between garlic and leek. This new-to-the-world all, allium marries the sweetness of leeks with the punchy notes of garlic.
You’ll find it at both #aoc locations on our focaccia with black mission figs, fourme d’ambert & walnut.
It’s an example of what’s possible when chefs get involved in writing recipes beginning with the seed.
SWEET GARLEEK 💘😮💨🫦😍✨ A very special dish is on the menu, created in partnership with @row7seeds- SWEET GARLEEK PALTUS!
Cold smoked halibut with @row7seeds Garleek emulsion and a salad of roasted corn, kidney bean, and pickled Garleek.
@row7seeds works in partnership with chefs, plant breeders, and farmers to co-select new and uniquely delicious varieties of vegetables.
Sweet Garleek is the FIRST EVER cross between garlic and leek. This new-to-the-world allium marries the sweetness of leeks with the punchy notes of garlic. It’s an example of what’s possible when chefs get involved in writing recipes - beginning with the seed. We're especially thrilled to be able to use the whole thing - tops and all - eliminating some of the food waste that comes with using regular leeks!
You can also find Sweet Garleek in a @wholefoods location near you. 📍
Available NOW for the next month or so, don't miss out, and let us know what you think!

I spent almost 20 years in restaurants, farmed for 8, and very few ingredients have captured me like@row7seedssweet garleek. Incredible produce. I can’t wait for the future of farming for flavor. Corn tostada, spicy crema, sautéed garleek, Calabrian chili.
Garleek, Tamanishiki, Kaui chili pepper water, mustard kalbi.
One excellent thing about having a pizza oven at home is I can make any manner of unhinged pizza I desire. Anything goes! Whatever!

We were honored to be invited by Chef and sustainability innovator Dan Barber, to join an extraordinary group of restaurants in piloting the use of his brand new vegetable; Sweet Garleek.
Along with his restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barn, Barber has founded Row 7 Seeds, a company whose mission is to collaborate across Chefs, farmers, and plant breeders, to reimagine food from the seed to the table and produce ingredients equally high in flavor and nutrients.
Their Sweet Garleek is a singular cross between garlic and leek. The new allium marries the sweetness of leeks with the savory spice of garlic. Recently, we featured Sweet Garleek grilled over the embers, in a dish of Rabbit from Pescadero.
Thank you @chefdanbarber, we look forward to working with new produce from @row7seeds and to our continued partnership.
