Masumoto peach farm menu: Vegan Jamaican and Trinidad flavors

Another of our renowned peach menus. I have been friends with the awesome Masumoto family for 2 decades and featuring their peaches in this annual series of menus for a long time. Come and join this family style feast as i offer up some amazing dishes using peaches, inspired by the incredile culinary traditions of Jamaica and Trinidad. The Rastafarian community that started in Jamaica has a 200 + year old vegan tradition that i am sourcing much of the inspiration for this menu from.

Appetizer: Saheena (Dal and greens "donut") with peach chutney, peach hot sauce and peach kuchela. Kuchela is usually made with mango but for this menu it is a peach sauce made with chili peppers, garlic and a wonderful spice mix that i make myself, amchar masala.

Soup: Cold peach soup. A caribbean style gazpacho with peach/tomatoe puree with cucumbers, herbs and peppers served ice cold.

family style entree will include:

Ital Stew: Coconut milk and spices with okra, cassava, sweet potatoes and more.

Corn and peach salad with lime dressing

House made pickles

Peach roasted tempeh (with homemade fava/basmati tempeh)

Rice and peas
