September Harvest Lunch — Purple sprouting broccoli salad, broad bean leaves & tonnato
Sprouting broccoli is a true sign that spring has arrived and a moment for us to depart from winter's root vegetables. For lunch through September, we offer a salad of purple sprouting broccoli, broad bean leaves & tonnato. At the heart of the dish is new season sprouting broccoli, sourced from our friends at Ramarro Farm in the Patch. It's a bright and hearty dish - a lovely accompaniment to a glass of the Sicilian 2023 Feudo Montoni Catarratto 'Masso'.
This lunch addition is only available from Monday to Friday in September.
Our Producers
Our relationships with local producers and suppliers is what makes Cumulus Inc. what it is, keeping us motivated and enthusiastic about the next great flavour combination or how a single, fresh ingredient can sometimes be enough.
We’re sourced September’s sprouting brocolli from Ramarro Farm in The Patch outside of the Dandenong Ranges. Established by former Cumulus manager, Oliver Shorthouse and his wife Lisa, also a Cumulus alum, they grow extraordinary leaves and vegetables for us in the wet and volcanic soil of The Patch, deep in The Dandenongs. Initially working part time in both businesses, Oliver became a full time farmer about 5 years ago.
