Chef Henderson knocked it out of the park with this stunning dish featuring Boat Street Pickles Pickled Raisins. Moroccan inspired, this dish is packed with flavor: spice from the harissa rub on the cauliflower, a sweet and tangy kick from the pickled raisins, and a freshness to cut through it all with fresh mint. But in this case, a picture really does say 1000 words.

Read MoreThis ancient style of bulgur is literally split in half from Bluebird Grain Farms' whole grain emmer. Traditionally known as Farro Spezzato in Italy it cooks in 1/3 the time (20 minutes) and yields a light, airy cooked grain with tremendous flavor and soft texture.
Read MoreBrooke + Sam's Bluebird Grain Farms is a true small-batch operation. Nothing is pre-packaged until an order is placed. Working closely with nature, they are hands-on in each step of the process themselves - from growing the grains to shipping them to customers. Situated in Washington's Methow Valley, the farm is irrigated by a natural mountain spring, with an emphasis on soil nutrition without compromise. The result is a revival of ancient wheats that is loaded with flavor and nutrients.

Naturally boneless, they are roughly the size of large scallops, with a meatier texture than the normally flakey halibut filets.
