"I am very fortunate to have a local farmer who grows all of my microgreens, braising greens and what I like to think of as God's personal gift to me, the aji dulce pepper. It looks and tastes just like a habanero, however it has none of the heat - seriously!" —Victoria Ann Moore, chef de cuisine, the Lazy Goat
