Straight off the menu of his East Nashville restaurant Joyland, James Beard-award winning Chef Sean Brock brings us this Southern-inspired meal of pure happiness. Pair Impossible™ Chicken Nuggets Made From Plants with a sweet and sour dipping sauce, featuring flavors of peach, soy sauce, and mirin. It’s a step up from other sweet and sour sauces!
As a side dish, try this recipe for a pimento mac and cheese salad. It uses two types of peppers: diced pimento (yes, the same type of diced pepper you’d see peeking out of your green olives) and espelette, which comes exclusively from the Pyrenees region of France. Unexpected bonus: you just may have a pleasant dinner conversation with your kids about where the Pyrenees are located—while dunking delicious nuggets. Enjoy!
