weekly wrap up + plate to gate at brooklyn grange: "


I’m thrilled to wrap up the week with a peek at a special event that look place last Wednesday at Brooklyn Grange. Brooklyn Grange is a commercial organic farming business that grows vegetables on rooftops throughout New York City and sells them to local residents and businesses. Last week they teamed up with bobo restaurant and chef Patrick Connolly to host a sunset dinner on top of their Long Island City headquarters as part of their “Plate to Gate” dinner series.







The menu included local produce, caponata and a Long Island Shellfish Pot (yum) and today Chef Patrick is sharing the recipe for his Brooklyn Grange Caponata with us! Caponata is a cooked vegetable salad that can serve as an appetizer, side or entree so if you’re looking for something tasty to cook up this weekend, check out the recipe after the jump below. Thanks so much to Patrick for sharing this recipe with us today, and to photographer Adrienne Grunwald for sharing her pictures of the event! I’m heading to Virginia for a weekend wedding so I’ll see you all back here on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend. xo, grace
