Spicy, Smoky, Sweet + Sour: Farm-To-Table With The Red Hot Chili Peppers

What could be a more perfect way to raise money for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music than a night filled with the incredible music of John Legend and the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Adding one of our favorite farm-to-table caterers to the mix! This month, our talented foodie friends over at Heirloom LA catered this fundraiser close to their hearts and showcased yet another spread of gorgeous foods from local farms. Heirloom supports local education initiatives of all shapes and sizes. Read on to hear all about the team's passion for art education and a recipe that fits this rock'n roll theme to a T.. This is our fifth year cooking for the annual fundraiser for Silverlake Conservatory of Music, a non-profit founded by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It works to provide music lessons and instruments to the community, and it also offers scholarships to underserved children. The event brings out an array of music industry greats, including this year's performance by John Legend and the Chili Peppers.  It seemed apropos, considering the performance, to serve up this practical recipe from this event we're sharing below: smoky sweet and sour peppers that were paired with wild-caught salmon, curried aioli and smoked tomatoes. Right now our favorite peppers from the Santa Monica Farmers Market are JF Organic’s, based on their punch of sweetness and rich colors. One heirloom variety is so intensely red that they call it a “lipstick" pepper! Make sure to get an array of colors and then use this condiment to accompany anything from the grill, cheeses, sandwiches, tacos, eggs, a garnish for soup… It’s just so versatile!
