Linger Introduces Plant Based Brunch Menu
Demand for plant-based cuisine is growing. Linger’s brunch offering recognizes this by making 6 of the 18 menu items vegan. The innovative restaurant incorporates local and organic fruits and veggies into recipes, in a creative way, hoping people leave chatting about the cuisine. “When is the last time you heard someone talk about mind-blowing carrots?” asks Culinary Director, Daniel Asher. “People just don’t talk about that. But people need to eat more vegetables. We make that happen with our take on food.”
Take the Breakfast Dosa, for example. Scrambled eggs, avocado and potatoes sit in a crepe made from rice batter and lentils. The savory crepe is vegan, gluten free and even has probiotics. Served on the side, you have the option of adding a curry, also made of lentils. All of a sudden, this meal is memorable, craveable and is heavy on veggies!
Another menu item to get jazzed about is the chili relleno. The sauce, simply made, is composed of tomato, celery, onion, garlic and arbol chilies. It’s refreshing to see every ingredient is not only healthy but recognizable. “Plant-based cuisine is a beautiful way to demonstrate quality of ingredients and excellence of technique,” says Asher.
