Clyzm Wines has a new soup for you this weekend. The new soup flavor is roasted red pepper. They serve it with locally baked bread from Bran & Ash. Delicious! Easter is around the corner, and Riverside is ready to take reservations. They will have time slots at 11 am and 7 pm on Easter Sunday. White Salmon Baking Co. is closed this week for renovations and a staff break beginning March 5th. We will be patiently waiting until we can enjoy their delicious baked goods again when they reopen on March 12th. Only one more week left of Solstice Wood Fire Pizza's Moroccan Beef Stew, Fried Chicken, Mac N Cheese, and their Hot signature drinks as their winter menu leaves to make room for new Spring menu items. Have you tried the new Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery special? It is called the Popeye (because of the spinach). The pie has artichoke pesto, fresh spinach, whole milk mozzarella, prosciutto, fresh red bell pepper; finished with cracked black pepper.

COCONUT CURRY WITH BUTTER BEANS, LENTILS, AND LIME FEATURING SPICES AND OLIVE OILS FROM AROME By article and photos by Sarah Harper Inspired by Indian dal, this comforting main combines butter beans and lentils cooked with an aromatic blend of spices. The spices are sourced from Arome, a woman-owned business nestled in the heart of downtown Hood River. This dish includes garam masala, turmeric, and freshly ground cumin gathered from Arome’s spice section, where they are carefully ordered and ground in small quantities on-site. Moreover, this dish starts and ends with Arome olive oils. I begin by sauteing the onions in Australian Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil and culminate with a drizzle of Jalapeno Fused Agrumato Olive Oil, adding a fiery touch to compliment the zesty lime and creamy coconut milk. This customizable curry can accommodate varieties of beans and vegetables such as cannellini beans, garbanzo beans, leafy greens, carrots, or potatoes. Enjoy this Coconut Curry as a stand-alone dish or paired with rice, flatbread, or my personal favorite, buttered and toasted sourdough slices. Coconut Curry with Butter Beans, Lentils, and Lime Servings: 4 to 5 servings Time: 45 to 50 minutes Ingredients:
