It’s that time of year when we get to venture out to the garden and find some really amazing results from our winter plantings! Kale, arugula, and radicchio were among the best and brightest stars for our Atlanta Botanical Garden Member Nights. This is a fantastic and delicious way to get all the best superfoods on one plate…from plant to plate in no time flat. We oven roasted the radicchio to soften and sweeten the bitter blow to complete this power packed dish for our best ever yet! Adding goat cheese is optional for the vegans but really makes the dish pop with a creamy delicious finish. We will see you in May for Garden Chef demos each weekend on Saturday and Sundays at noon, 1 and 2 pm. Come visit the Edible Garden and find more ways to create fantastic food with what is simply growing in the garden.
