Farmer's Market Spring BBQ

I walked to the farmer's market at Pershing Square in downtown L.A. which takes place every Wednesday at 11am.  I got there early and grabbed what I first saw--fava beans, sprouted garlic, English thyme, broccoli rabe.  It was great weather for a bbq, so I grilled the veggies and bread.  I made a pea with garlic puree, spread that on the bread, and topped it with chopped broccoli rabe.  The sprouted garlic was milder than a regular garlic but went well with the vegetable croquette.

Noah's Ark

If I rewrote history, and Noah had to build an ark and put 2 of each animal in it, then bbq them, this is what you would get:

BBQ

From a BBQ I did...shopped for groceries, prepped food, and grilled a 4 course meal of steak, salmon, hot links, and chicken, with a side of grilled eggplant with feta, fruit, salad greens, rice, and beer.  What a day...those of you who missed out MISSED out!  Hopefully you can join me the next time I fire up the BBQ.

Fresh veggies, fruits, sausages all prepped and ready for the grill.

Chicken on the wood burning grill.

Hot link on a bun, grilled chicken, and brown rice.

Fruit, tortilla chips, grilled chicken, and beer.

Grilled Veggies with Cured Salmon and Cheese on toast

From a party I did...shopped ingredients, prepared vegetable and meat platters and grilled on the spot for 50 some guests.  I also made 3 sauces that day, my "pimpalicious" red and white wine reductions:

Port reduction - goes great with steak
Cabernet reduction - goes great with steak
Chardonnay reduction with cream - goes great with fish

Great idea if you want to plan a party of your own.  Grill and chef provided.  E-mail me, Chef Albért to book your personal chef at your next party.
