This dish is a memory on a plate, inspired by childhood road trips to Mendocino and Ft. Bragg. While most remember the coastline of Highway 1, I think of the quiet inland roads, towering redwoods, and the stillness of the forest, lush, green, and full of life.
My ingredients mirror fallen redwood branches, crosnes feel like hidden forest treasures, fava beans bring vibrant green, mimicking life and morels carry the deep, earthy flavor of the forest floor. Each element brings me back to the calm and depth of those woods in Mendocino County.
