There's an old Greek fable inspired by the fall Mediterranean Sea where a young orphaned boy works at a farm his whole life. His only friend was young Anastasia who would watch him from the other side of the brown wooden fence. Everyday young Taso would get up from a small room decorated with only a wooden bed overlayed with a soft bamboo mat, strap his sandals to his feet, and walk out to the chick pea fields. There Anastasia would watch him hoe the dirt, plant seeds with his worn and tired fingers, and grow the beautiful plant that provided his family their only source of income.
One day overcame with love and emotion and the hard work of a young little boy, Anastasia went up to him while he was planting and gave him a kiss. Taso dropped the seeds beneath them as they shared that moment of love. Taso and Anastasia married and lived a peaceful life together.
A year later the locusts had ravaged the fields of Greek and only a few chick pea plants remained and they were on young Taso and Anastasia's meek home. They were those that had been grown from love, dropped from Taso's worn hands, and growing purely on emotion and spirit.
Chef Joe chooses only the most passionate ingredients and these chick peas, grown from the love of two young Greeks, were used in the spicy hummus with red pepper flakes (acquired from only the finest grocer Key Food) that line his pita. Chicken is placed in a semi-circular pattern to enrich the flavors of the meat. The pita is then carefully closed and wrapped in the most delicate foil available.
To complement the meal, sweet tree-ripened peaches have been selected as a wonderful side and contrasted with Chef Joe's famous Parmesan and Garlic Pita Chips. Green tea is the suggested drink of choice to add a top note of kombucha with a base note of plentiful antioxidants. Bon appetit!
I ate my lunch while reading that story and it tasted beautiful
ReplyDeleteI formally retract my last comment, eating a day old pita hummus sandwich is akin to 3 week old chicken... ahck
