Adam and Andrew Erace grew up in Philadelphia's Italian-American Passyunk neighborhood, shopping at mom-and-pop stores for just-made mozzarella and lemon ices flecked with citrus peel. Now the brothers have their own Passyunk store, the tiny (just 260 square feet) Green Aisle Grocery, where they offer a carefully curated selection of local, sustainable foods. "We can tell you the name of the person who baked every loaf of bread," Adam says. "We can tell you where the plums in the plum jam came from—our yard!" Inspired by some of Green Aisle's best prepared items—like apple butter and hummus—Adam created the five supereasy recipes here.
Apple-Butter Ice Cream with Ginger-Chocolate Ganache
Convenience Food Ingredients:
Finished Recipe:
Folding apple butter into vanilla ice cream is a great way to add elegance. Green Aisle Grocery's Adam Erace also adds grated ginger to melted chocolate to make a fast sundae topping; for a more caramel-like sauce, substitute dulce de leche for the melted chocolate.
Sweet Potato, Balsamic Onion and Soppressata Pizza
Convenience Food Ingredients:
Finished Recipe:
Every winter, Green Aisle's backyard becomes a charcuterie cellar—the landlord strings homemade soppressata on the trees to dry. Erace uses the soppressata to top this clever prebaked-crust pizza, along with mashed sweet potatoes and mozzarella cheese.
