InterContinental at Doral Miami and BrightView Partner Up to Plant Herb and Veggie Garden in Celebration of Earth Day
InterContinental at Doral Miami and BrightView Landscapes, LLC, are partnering up to plant a two-section, 20 x 4 foot garden to grow herbs and vegetables for the kitchen of Blue Matisse and NAU Lounge to use.
- Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) April 20, 2017 - In recognition of the 45th Earth Day, InterContinental at Doral Miami and BrightView Landscapes, LLC, the nation's leading landscape services company, are joining individuals and organizations around the world in celebration of the earth. Earth Day, started in 1970, takes place every April 22 in a worldwide effort to save and nurture the environment.
InterContinental at Doral Miami and BrightView Landscapes will plant a two-section, 20 x 4 feet garden to grow herbs and vegetables from Peru, Mexico and other countries that are not commonly found in South Florida that the kitchen of Blue Matisse and NAU Lounge can use. The garden is part of the farm to table concept Executive Chef Eric Do has envisioned for the restaurant's Latin Fusion inspired menu.
Herbs like Aji Limo and Huacatay are a couple of examples of what will be grown in the garden. Aji Limo pepper better known as lemon drop peppers in the US are small 2 to 3 inch conical peppers with thin, slightly ribbed walls. The chiles mature from green to an array of colors from bright yellow to orange, even red and purple. Though, the yellow and red varieties are more common. Aji Limo peppers have a very floral and fruity aroma, similar to the related habanero peppers.
Huacatay, known as the indispensable Andean herb, it is sometimes called Peruvian black mint. This herb is the Peruvian cousin of the marigold. Huacatay has very aromatic leaves, which are ground into a paste (usually with a mortar and pestle) that adds flavor and depth to many Peruvian Andean dishes.
"The herb and vegetable garden will be dedicated to source, in part, the hotel's Blue Matisse Restaurant and NAU Lounge creative dishes and cocktails," said Randal Pasut, General Manager of InterContinental at Doral Miami. "Each year Earth Day provides us with an important reminder to celebrate the planet we all share and be part of creating a positive impact," he added.
