Grab another helping of this umami – packed standout of a soup! We’ve got extra servings for you to defrost and enjoy anytime.
A beautiful bounty of mushrooms provide the basis for this soup that’s as nutrient dense as it is flavorful. We’ll start by making a rich veggie broth flavored with pink peppercorn and kombu to highlight the best variety of organic and local mushrooms from Happy Dirt. With richness from the cauliflower and GC-made cashew cream, paired with the incredible umami of NC made Great Eastern Sun miso, this soup is sure to satisfy on every level. We’re finishing it off with a handful of green onion and toasted sesame seeds, but we think it would be great topped with a little coconut yogurt for extra probiotic goodness. Warm up gently and enjoy alongside any of this week’s other dishes.

Do some spring cleaning for your body in the most delicious way with our new creamy greens soup. It features local green kale from Happy Dirt blended with organic fennel, apple, spinach, leek, ginger, and a touch of cauliflower for creaminess with a drizzle of lemon cashew cream to top it off. We hit the perfect balance of flavors with the tartness of the apple, sweetness of the fennel, hint of spiciness from the ginger, all underneath the bright green vibrance of the kale, with a pinch of allspice to round it out. Enjoy warmed up slightly or sip on cold and enjoy.

Tahini is loved throughout the world. It’s an ancient food that’s been cultivated in India since 5000 BC. It’s pretty miraculous that tiny sesame seeds have so much nutritional power and that when blended alone, create a rich and potent paste known as ‘tahini’. This version of our tahini sauce will be light and tangy with local oregano and parsley. We’ll soak fresh garlic in lemon juice before straining it out to hit a perfectly low key garlicky note. Drizzle it on the za’atar chicken, any cooked vegetable, or even use as a dressing for salad – it will add a nutritious glow to every bite. Give it a stir before serving and add water or oil to thin as desired.

Caldo Verde is a traditional Portuguese soup that translates to “green broth”. The essential ingredients of this humble soup are greens, potatoes and smoked sausage. We’ve decided to elevate this batch of Caldo Verde by using our housemade chicken stock. We source our chicken bones from Dawnbreaker Farms, in Hurdle Mills, where they pasture raise their birds with great care using environmentally regenerative practices. We’ll slow simmer the bones overnight with bay leaf, carrot, celery, parsley, and garlic cloves to create a flavorful stock that’s rich in collagen, vitamins, minerals and amino acids that support gut function, brain health and immunity. We’re pairing local collards from Faithfull Farms and organic gold potatoes from Happy Dirt with Andouille pork sausage from Firsthand Foods to create our version of this beloved classic. We’ve been cooking this one up for years and are excited for you to try it. Reheat in a pot and enjoy this delicious meal in a bowl.

This quinoa pilaf is easy to defrost in the fridge during the day so you can warm up as the perfect “starch” for dinner to go with any veg or protein you might have on hand. It’s versatile, full of local veg and packs a nutrition punch.
We’ll pair quinoa, wild rice, fresh parsley, and roasted butternut squash with an abundance of local baby arugula to create an earthy, sweet, and subtle quinoa dish. Quinoa and wild rice are both seeds (not grains) and wild ‘rice’ has almost twice the protein, fiber, and b-vitamins as brown rice. The flavor, freshness and nutrient density of this dish is off the charts. Join us as we celebrate the last of the winter squash bounty with the best greens that spring has to offer. Serve gently reheated in a saucepan over low heat.

Just defrost and lightly warm up for a protein and flavor-rich side. This is a GC favorite, so add a pint or quart if you know what’s good.
We’ll cook the quinoa in coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves, boosting these puffy little grains with rich flavors right from the start. Then we’ll add pink peppercorns – actually little red berries – for a subtle floral note that mixes beautifully with the ginger and citrus. Fresh shredded organic cabbage and carrots will add texture and color and crunchy peanuts on top will seal the deal. Serve this with our chicken skewers or any grilled protein or veg and you’re sure to fall in love. Serve cold or gently warm up in a saucepan over low heat.

Get some of this gold in your freezer. Defrost and use to brighten up any lunch or dinner.
The name says it all. Sunflower seeds that have soaked up sunbeams in a field somewhere will be lightly toasted and whizzed up to become creamy seed butter. Then with a twist of lime, ginger, coconut milk and a touch of heat from chili flakes you have…sunshine sauce! It’s punchy, smooth and packed with flavor and goodness. Drizzle it over any of this week’s dishes. You can also use it as a salad dressing or to dress up a plain roasted veg or grain bowl. This certainly is a sweet little number to have knocking about in your fridge when you need a burst of flavor to save the day.
