Products We Can't Stop

El Samahy Pickled Lemons
Seriously tangy and tart, indispensable for chicken tagines, these pickles are equally toothsome served quartered on a meze platter or antipasto tray.

Matouk's Green Seasoning (Alino de Hierbas)

Hailing from the West Indies, and available at most Caribbean markets, Matouk's Green Seasoning need not be limited to specific ethnic foods - Cafe Drake loves a dollop of the spicy relish spread inside an omelet just prior to folding over in the pan. Also delicious on baked potatoes with sour cream. To conjure a warm island breeze at your holiday brunches during the cold months, stir a tablespoon into the next pitcher of Bloody Marys.

Belle of Maine's Baked Soldier Beans

We first discovered Belle of Maine bean products at a supermarket in Belfast, Maine and have been hooked ever since. Belle's uses several variety of heirloom specimens in their line of canned legumes, but the baked soldier beans are hard to top . . . sweet, tangy and just tender enough without turning mushy, let Belle's save you the trouble of long-baking when under time constraints. Additionally, the 82-year old company cans fiddlehead ferns and (only manufacturer in the world!!) dandelion greens. Not easy to find so search high and low or try ordering HERE.
