The Organic Dish provides easy and delicious, fresh, natural and organic "make-your-own" meals and dinner kits for vegetarians and omnivores in Boulder, Colorado.
We are proud to announce the launch of our new "Chef of the Month" program. Each month a local guest/celebrity chef will contribute one recipe to our menu. In May the program will launch with Chef Lyle Davis.
As a co-founder of the natural and gourmet grocery chain Alfalfa’s Markets and too many Rock-n-Roll bands to count, Lyle has more than 27 years of experience in the food world. He and his "true food" recipes have appeared in Sunset, 5280 Magazine, Mr. Food’s Easy Cooking, The Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, and on The Bobby Flay Show on the Food Network. When he’s not in the kitchen, he’s organically farming. Now, his food rocks. Lyle currently owns Big Bang Catering and Pastures of Plenty farms in Boulder County. Check out his catering company and certified organic farm at www.bigbangcatering.com.
Chef Lyle has set the bar high in terms of taste and ease of preparation: delicious, tender lamb chops broiled to perfection, served with flavorful collard greens and cannellini beans make for a delicious treat. Date night anyone?
Broil the lamb while you saute the collard greens and cook the cannellini beans – dinner will be ready in 15 minutes or less….
