Toulouse Nicoise Salad

Having sausage doesn’t mean you’re skipping salad - we love the idea of substituting our deeply flavorful Toulouse sausage where tuna would normally be in a Nicoise salad. You get it - French Sausage, French Salad - makes sense right? A version of this salad has recently made an appearance on our tasting menu - we encourage you to do this without the greens for a super crunchy and textural adventure.

Toluca Breakfast Pupusas

Chef Sarah has developed a recent fascination with masa - and you get to reap the benefits. Arepas are a thick, corn flour-based dough filled and seared. We filled ours with Marrow Detroit Provisions’ Toluca Breakfast sausage, but this recipe is easily adaptable for any filling. 

We like the idea of making these pupusas in bulk and freezing them for the future. Spend an afternoon in the kitchen and enjoy this goodness whenever you need a quick meal without compromising your ethics.
