Last year, proof was one of the first vendors to sell
drinks at the Toronto Underground Market. Last weekend, we were not serving drinks,
but we were fortunate enough to help out at this year’s first TUM foodie event.
It seemed like the hottest food items were made on the barbeque
– both Southern & asian BBQ. So we came up with this cilantro cocktail that would compliment either one.
the yum tum 1 1/2 oz proof vodka • 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz lemon simple syrup • 2 small pieces of celery • 1/3 cup
cilantro, lightly packet
In a shaker muddle together celery and cilantro. Add ice and
the remaining ingredients. Shake well. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish
with celery and cilantro.
lemon simple syrup Add 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a
saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let cool. Add lemon zest from
one lemon. Keep in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
The Toronto Underground Market (TUM) is a social food market
for the community to sample the food of Toronto home cooks. It is a venue for
budding entrepreneurs to showcase their products. These vendors are not
necessarily chefs, although some will be. This is a new kind of community
market; not a farmer's market, or a food festival, but something completely
unique and new to Toronto. (http://yumtum.ca)
Yum Tum was a blast. Check out some of the great up-and-coming
people and restaurants:
Union Up and coming chef, Mazen Mansour offered the
Palestinian side of Union, and Eric Bernhard, the Israeli flavour. The two came
together with their country’s most authentic dishes – both delivered with a
modern twist. Mazen was serving his version of M’jadarah (an Arabic basmati
rice dish). Eric was serving Cholent (a traditional jewish stew). The
complimentary flavours proved to make the perfect Union. Stay tuned for lots
more from Mazen Mansour.
Babi&co re-creates traditional Indonesian street foods
