Three Gardenuity cultivators reveal their preferred gardens and corresponding culinary delights
Fresh Taco Toppings and Cocktails with Gardenuity
Gardenuity, a company known for its innovative microgreens gardens, has introduced a new Taco Toppings Container Garden. This garden is designed to grow fresh herbs and vegetables perfect for making flavorful taco toppings. While specific recipes are not listed, the fresh produce grown in the kit can be used to prepare a variety of taco recipes.
Donna Letier, a Culinary Institute of America fellow associated with Gardenuity, emphasizes the importance of using fresh ingredients from these kits daily to influence flavor profiles and create tasty dishes. The kit encourages culinary creativity, allowing you to grow your own ingredients and experiment with new recipes.
For inspiration, a typical taco recipe might include preparing taco shells or wraps, cooking your choice of protein or beans, and adding fresh toppings from your Garden—to include diced tomatoes, sliced peppers, chopped onions, and herbs like cilantro. Other toppings such as cheese, sour cream, or salsa can be added as desired.
Gardenuity's Taco Toppings Microgreen Recipes aim to boost the flavor and nutritional profile of tacos. If you're looking for recipes specifically curated by Gardenuity, you might check their official site or product instructions for detailed suggestions on how to best use the homegrown ingredients.
In addition to the Taco Toppings Garden, Gardenuity offers other gardens like the Sips & Dips Garden, which Laura Druck, the Event Specialist at the Lincoln Experience Center, uses for entertaining. She provides three delicious and easy-to-make recipes using the Sips & Dips Garden: Let it Brie Crostini Bites, Caprese Skewers, and Veggie & Hummus Pinwheels.
For those looking for a refreshing cocktail to pair with their tacos, the "Havin' a Good Thyme Cocktail" recipe is a great choice. This cocktail includes Tito's Vodka, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, thyme sprigs, and ice. The recipe suggests listening to Queen while making the cocktail and serving it with an ice sphere and a sprig of thyme.
Another cocktail recipe worth trying is Ron's Raspberry & Muddled Mint Margarita. This margarita includes silver tequila, a choice of vodka, freshly squeezed lime juice, 6 fresh raspberries, 2 sprigs of fresh mint, Chambord or raspberry liqueur of choice, and club soda.
