Top Ten Dishes of 2014 - Tamales - Farm & Table

Braised Duck Tamales
The name says it all. Farm and Table. Fresh local food brought right to your table. Sound perfect? Yep, that’s the idea. They source local ingredients (over 80 percent of the menu) and design their menu to highlight them. They believe in the community that grows our food and supports it. They compost and recycle. Think it’s a gimmick? Think again, they have their own farm. They employ a full-time farmer and even raise and sell their own cattle. You can’t get more genuine than that. One of the things I enjoy most about the menu at Farm and Table is that not only do they use local ingredients, they reinvent our beloved dishes. They are true to the heritage of New Mexico. The Braised Duck Tamales are a fascinating combination of delicately braised duck, apples, green chile, pomegranate, sage, butter and masa. It’s unlike any tamale I have ever eaten.
