Farm to Table Ingredients

Duvall has been working with Grow Food Carolina to source the freshest produce for our events. These beautiful patty pan squash were cut off the vine this morning and delivered to our kitchen this afternoon. They’ll be sizzling in the pan in a few hours and on a dinner plate tonight.

Summer squash are in full bloom in Charleston and when we’re dealing with the freshest local ingredients, we like to make sure the flavor shines. Tonight, we’ll be serving sauteed local summer squash with roasted spring onion, shaved garlic and extra virgin olive oil.

5-minute Charleston Summer Squash

Cut squash into bite-size pieces.

Heat pan to medium-high heat with 2tsp olive oil.

Quickly sautee onion until translucent, add garlic a minute or two later. Let cook for another minute. Add squash- toss and let sautee for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and finish with course sea salt and enjoy!

According to Grow Food’s website, “GrowFood Carolina’s mission is to help link local farmers to local and regional markets by providing adequate infrastructure and coordination so that fresh produce can move seamlessly from local farmers’ land to consumers’ hands.”
