Slow Food USA & Sustainable Meat Tasting Extravaganza!


We've been Slow Food USA members for a little while now, but we have not had a chance to go to any local events... until now. On Sunday, March 14, we're headed to a Sustainable Meat Tasting Extravaganza at someone's house in Palo Alto. Below is a description of the event:

Our host, Slow Food South Bay member Daniel Lilienstein, is collaborating with Marin Sun Farms to choose a selection of their meats, including beef, pork, lamb and goat. Marin Sun Farm raises only 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised livestock. Daniel will introduce us to each course, telling us about the animal was raised and why we should be eating it.

Udo Prambs, Slow Food South Bay member and certified master chef, will be leading the cooking, assisted by Slow Food volunteers in the kitchen. He has created a five-course tasting menu, including:
  • Barbecued pork belly with apple sauce and Brussel sprouts
  • Goat chop with crispy quinoa with tamarind sauce and stewed leek
  • Lamb shoulder stewed with dry apricots and lavender or thyme, and tabouleh
  • Grilled chili rubbed flank steak, potato pancake and hollandaise sauce
  • Poached beef shoulder clod, golden beets, boiler onions, braised kale and fresh creamed horseradish
