HUNGRY GERALD

“NUCH AH MUL”. That’s how you say “again” in Yiddish. And, nuch ah mul, HG is writing about BSK’s “Green Soup”. It is a wonderful soup—comforting, spicy, herbaceous, healthy. The perfect lunch and supper answer to wintry weather. Warms body and soul. BSK gathers all of the aged vegetables in the fridge. Cut into chunks, they are simmered in stock with a dash of olive oil, hot sauce and an abundance of spices and herbs. When soft, BSK applies the immersion blender to bring the melange to a smooth (but slightly chunky) texture. It’s a sublime treat topped with a dollop of sour cream dusted with Aleppo pepper. Happy HG had bowls for lunch and supper today (It is also served at Jeremy and Maiko Freeman’s FREEMAN SHOKUDO “izakaya” in Tokyo. Urban Japanese are fond of it.)
