Creating high performance, sustainably designed housing for an increasing population wanting to live downtown, the Alma del Pueblo mixed-use project is under construction and on track to deliver 37 residential units this fall. In addition, there is 27,711 square feet of commercial space of which 19,800 square feet is the Santa Barbara Public Market, which will open in the summer of 2013 and will offer a mix of best in class food and wine merchants. The new development will invigorate a half-block in the heart of Santa Barbara’s cultural and performing arts district.
This recipe combines creamy white beans with crispy haricot verts and a tangy vinaigrette. Best served room temperature, make it ahead so the beans have some time to marinate. BTW – this shallot vinaigrette recipe stands on its own. I imagine it’s delicious on boiled red potatoes, grilled vegetables or mixed greens…yummy.

This version of black bean soup has a great combination of tang and heat from interesting ingredients ~ chorizo and fresh orange juice. It’s delicious, different and totally on your list of soups to try. I used canned beans. The original recipe called for dried beans, but I am committed to using ingredients in my pantry before buying new, so I changed it up a bit – with great results! I hope you like it too.
Like the Italians, use a rind of Parmesan cheese to give this soup a great boost of flavor. A nice dollop of pesto on top adds a splash of color and a burst of flavor. Delicious! It makes a lot, so freeze it and treat yourself at a later date. It just gets better with time…

Yield: 1 cup These days, the backyard basil patch lives only in my dreams. This “pesto” is a great way to brighten up winter and make the most of lemon season.
