\"crab_cakes_tomatoes_green_peppers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fast food (the crab cakes; the rest was slow).<\/p>\n

This may have been my favorite\u00a0treatment to date for\u00a0my favorite Greenmarket crab cakes. \u00a0It involved placing them on a bed of very ripe heirloom tomatoes and some Thai basil, and adding\u00a0a ‘topping’ of a peppery melange of baby greens. \u00a0I decided on the green side entirely\u00a0because the only suitable vegetables I had in the crisper were\u00a0green bell peppers\u00a0(the last of the\u00a0bounty a friend recently shared with us from her upstate garden),\u00a0and some very neat\u00a0small leeks I had picked up from the Greenmarket the day before preparing this meal.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. crab cakes from P.E. & D.D. Seafood, saut\u00e9ed in a little olive oil for about 4 minutes on each side, arranged on a\u00a0bed of roughly-chopped heirloom tomatoes (a friend’s\u00a0dark red, from her garden in Garrison, New York, and one Berried Treasures\u00a0orange), mixed with Thai basil (leaves and blossoms), salt, and pepper, each serving topped with a small amount of ‘Living Japanese Peppergrass’ (pak choi\/red mustard\/green mizuna\/leaf broccoli) from Radicle Farm<\/a>, then drizzled with a bit of\u00a0good olive oil<\/li>\n
  2. leeks from Ryder Farm, split and pan-grilled, combined with strips of green bell peppers from a friend’s garden in Garrison, saut\u00e9ed, celery from\u00a0Whole Foods, also saut\u00e9ed, some briefly-saut\u00e9ed\u00a0leek green stems, and garlic chive flowers<\/li>\n
  3. a simple cheese course\u00a0with\u00a0Consider Bardwell’s goat milk ‘Danby’ (made\u00a0with\u00a0a surprise\u00a0end-of-season batch), which produced\u00a0a great taste and a very long \u00a0finish<\/em>, accompanied by thin toasts made from\u00a0slices\u00a0of one of Eataly’s ‘Integrale’\u00a0loaves<\/li>\n
  4. the wine was a remarkable sturdy Quebec ros\u00e9, Le Charlevoyou Ros\u00e9 2014, vinifi\u00e9 chez Maurice Dufour<\/a><\/em>; I know it’s from a very limited production (we bought it \u00e0 la maison<\/em>, just\u00a0outside\u00a0Baie-Saint-Paul), and it’s not available in the U.S., but, if it were possible, I would buy a case of this wine today<\/li>\n
  5. the music was Mozart’s ‘Don Giovanni’,\u00a0conducted by\u00a0Carlo Maria Giulini, with\u00a0Eberhardt W\u00e4chter, Elisabeth Schwarzkop, and Cesare Valletti,\u00a0et al.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
