Gray pea tempeh - candied leeks - BBQ lemon - spruce oil
Gray pea tempeh from the fire and smoky lemon with a spicy oil from the forest. The gray pea has a special firm but tender bite and almost something fishy. On open fire or frying with a little oil, it doesn't need much more. Our gray peas are grown by the Smak family in Lutjewinkel.
Balad mineral goes perfectly with summer herb salads. A salad is the representation of and around the vegetable garden in any season. Wildflowers and pickled spruce tops finish it off.
But even in the wild, seasons give it flavor. Along the Dutch coastline, all kinds of salty herbs and vegetables grow. For example, check out sea kale, beach beet or sea fennel. And especially use a delicious salty salad.
