Just in time for the Fall comes the first Family Dinner at The Station. I've spent the summer putting the finishing touches on recipes and discovering the limits of a kitchen powered by a single 15 amp circuit just so that I could offer your tastebuds a symphony of flavors and showcase local ingredients. And the menu I have lined up for you does just that.
Wherever I've traveled I've always found a way to host a family dinner. I've filled small apartments to capacity and taken over the hallways. I've commandeered the back of a box truck. I've pre-made, vacuum packed, and froze meals to reheat and serve in the Black Rock Desert. Now I'm excited to announce that I'll be hosting a family dinner around a real dining table, and you're invited!
Menu for Hearty Thai Family Dinner
Because this is a family dinner, where possible I source organic ingredients that are grown in the US. Most are purchased from either Good Eggs (visit their site for the principles farmers and ranchers follow) or Bi-Rite Market (visit their site for their values).
Menus are influenced by the season, with the Fall menu showcasing tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash, and eggplant. For $40, you get soup, a stir fry, two curries, and rice. Wine that pairs with the menu is complimentary. If you prefer a different alcoholic beverage with your dinner, you are welcome to bring it.
- Soup: Tom Yum Gai. Homemade vegan broth with red curry paste, Galangal, Kaffir Lime, lemongrass, mushrooms, tomato, and organic chicken, finished with freshly squeezed lime juice. NOTE: Can be made vegetarian.
- Stir fry: Pad Prik King. Stir fry with red curry paste, ginger, sweet peppers, green beans, and organic chicken. NOTE: Can be made vegetarian.
- Curries:
- Green Curry with Eggplant and Beef. Homemade chicken broth and coconut milk with green curry paste, eggplant, sweet peppers, and beef. Beef is from Fallon Hills Ranch and is 100% Grass-Fed and Finished.
- Red Curry with Tofu. Homemade vegan broth and coconut milk with red curry paste, acorn squash, and organic tofu. Tofu is hand crafted by Hodo Soy from organic, non-GMO, US-grown, whole soybeans.
