Farm to Fork Veggie Dish

Fennel, carrots, snap peas, cauliflower, broccoli, turnips, kohlrabi and beets have all made recent appearances at The Red Door Restaurant and Wine Bar. Executive Chef Karrie Hills is using the abundance of fresh produce in a Farm to Fork Veggie Dish. “Come summer, you can switch out this dish to show off an array of eggplant, squash, peppers or beans,” she says. “No matter the season, this is the perfect way to get your vegetables.”
