This recipe is built with layered flavors, some not-so-everyday ingredients, and incredibly simple techniques. So, get ready to be inspired by a world-famous chef in your very own kitchen!

This recipe was designed by local chef:
Chef Gavin Kaysen
of Spoon and Stable
Gavin gravitates most toward traditional Heartland dishes—the kind he grew up eating and cooking in Minnesota with his grandma. The chef refined his dexterity in contemporary American fine dining by dedicating time to some of the world’s best restaurants. Later to realize, "there is nothing quite like the frenetic and fleeting seasonality of the upper Midwest to inspire a soulful cook." For Chef Gavin Kaysen, an old soul at heart, this idea beckoned him back home to Minneapolis to open Spoon and Stable restaurant in the North Loop neighborhood in fall 2014.
