Basil’s Garden Picks
December may bring frosty mornings and quiet gardens, but there are still some wonderful seasonal flavors ready to brighten the table. This month, Basil is bundling up and heading into the winter garden for Brussels sprouts, those little green bundles that become sweeter and more flavorful after a touch of cold weather. Then he’s adding a burst of holiday color with pomegranates, filled with hundreds of sparkling ruby-red arils that bring a sweet-tart crunch to winter dishes. One is hearty and earthy, the other bright and juicy—and together they give our kitchen crew plenty to play with. Let’s dig into Basil’s December picks and learn a little about each before we take them From the Plot to the Pot! 🌱❤️
From the Plot to the Pot
December may be the final stop in our Plot to Pot year, but the kitchen isn’t slowing down yet! Brussels sprouts and pomegranates may seem like an unlikely pair, but that’s exactly what makes this month fun. One brings hearty, earthy flavor from the winter garden, while the other adds bright, sweet-tart bursts of ruby-red goodness. Our kitchen crew is ready to roast, toss, blend, season, and transform Basil’s December picks into four completely different creations. Grab an apron and save room for one last taste-testing adventure—we’re taking December’s harvest From the Plot to the Pot! 🌱❤️
