St. Paddy’s Day Meal Boxes now on the menu!

There once was a meal box from Boston 
With St. Paddy’s Irish food tossed in
If you don’t touch my bangers,
I won’t touch your mash.
And we’ll share in that emerald green frostin’

We are so pleased to announce our St. Paddy’s Day Menu! We have four components for celebrating the holiday: a Dinner Box,  a “Full Irish” Breakfast Box, a Beer Celebration Trio, and even the chance to test your luck with a Pot of Gold (what’s that?) The Southie parade is off this year, so celebrate Irish food traditions at home and stock your fridge with a parade of new meals built on culinary research and locally available produce. Special thanks to Kev, our Kendall restaurant manager, who hails from Ireland and lent us his recipes and memories. Sláinte!

(And thank you to Mick for bringing to our attention that it’s “St. Paddy’s” with the letter D, not the letter T!)

Available now 🍀 Pickup at HUB / Free Delivery over $60 🍀 3/12 + 3/16

ORDER THE DINNER BOX

“Full Irish” Breakfast Box 
But we couldn’t stop at dinner. Stock your fridge with the makings of a “Full Irish,” the spread of bacon, eggs, black pudding sausage, beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms that is nearly impossible to find this side of the Atlantic. We’re tucking in our house-baked scones, Farmacy tea for 4 and our famous carrot-orange marmalade, plus everything you need to brew up decadent maple-chocolate coffees (add your favorite whiskey to make them Irish coffees).

Since everything is done ahead (you just warm things up) it’s ideal for the bleary morning after a St. Paddy’s celebration…or for daydreaming that you’re waking up at a bed and breakfast in the Emerald Isle.

– Maple chocolate coffee kit (caffeinated)
– Farmacy Herbs tea for 4 (non-caffeinated)
– House-baked oatmeal scones for 4
– Carrot-orange Marmalade
– Black pudding sausage patties
– Smoky tempeh bacon strips 
– Soft-cooked eggs
– Irish beans made with Charley Baer heirlooms
– Roasted tomato halves
– Garlicky roasted crimini mushrooms from Rhode Island 

ORDER THE “FULL IRISH” BOX

PS: Thank you Violet, age 9, for hand-making all the St. Paddy’s day decorations we used (including the illustration above!!)

I recently took a Soup Box on a family vacation and we were all blown away by the clean, clear flavors and the freshness of the produce. (It was a potato leek soup with arugula salad and cider chive vinaigrette, French bread, local cucumbers, local radishes, and 2 different types of compound butters.) If you haven’t had a meal box in a while, this time of year might be the perfect time to try one…

As a born-and-bred Yankee, I’m particularly pumped for our Cape Cod Box. We’re using mushrooms and veggies to recreate classic Clam Shack fare— clam strips, chowder, and fish and chips! Plus, Chris and the kitchen team are righting the eternal wrong that Veggie Lovers never get to experience the rich luscious buttery joy of an overstuffed Lobster Roll with a perfectly toasted bun.

Emily just sent me a picture of this giant lettuce we just got from Verrill Farm. We’re going to be putting it in Monday’s Salad Meal Box along with eggplant, carrot-feta spread, Lebanese white bean salad, and a bunch of other yummy things. If you’re subscribed, you’re probably already in for this delivery; if you’d like to try it a-la-carte click here. Because these greens are grown in real soil, you’ll need to give them a good rinse using a…

Yellow and green summer squash. Basil. Beets. Scapes and scallions and spinach. Summer produce is starting to appear in our kitchen in abundance! Which means our Weekly Meal Boxes are getting even more vibrant and exciting. Here’s what we’re cooking up for next week: 6/30-7/6.

Don’t let the next 7 days go by before stopping in for a Nashville Hot Mushroom. Corn mayo, a pile of beautiful Rhode Island Mushrooms we batter and fry, our sizzlingly hot Nashville oil, leaf lettuce, and some VERY necessary cooling pickle slices. If you aren’t on our email list, we occasionally send out little gifts there. Last night we sent out $5 off a Nashville Hot Mushroom sandwich or platter, and now I’m sharing it here…

About a year and a half ago, at an open-to-the-public food development meeting at Clover, we blind taste-tested a new plant-based pulled pork. This wasn’t a totally new thing for us to do—as a company with a climate mission, we tend to get a lot of samples of plant-based everything, and we love trying all of them. We’ve tried mycelium-based mushroom meats, wheat-and-soy nuggets, and burgers made from kelp. One bite in, and it was clear this pulled pork was special.

Squeaky paneer, mint cilantro chutney, chaat, and our first-ever collab with a local chef. Remember when Pushpir came into the kitchen and schooled us on Northern Indian food? That was 2013. A different CloverHSQ than the one you visit today (back then we were at 7 Holyoke St, across the street from where Kevin and his team now serve you). I still remember the smell of the cilantro, mint, jalapeños, and orange juice Pushpir was blending in the Vitamix. We hadn’t smelled that exact combo before…

This week has been a flurry of preparations as we kick off the 2024 food truck season. We did an event at Tufts over the weekend, in a few days we’ll be selling breakfast and lunch at a conference at the Media Lab at MIT, and this weekend we’ll be pulling up to a private party with sandwiches and appetizers.

Every year, just after Valentine’s Day, we start getting the same question in from customers: Will there be a Passover Box this year? Sometimes the pleas are more direct, sometimes more colorful. The glories of the vegetarian Chopped Liver are a common theme. This year, Sarah, an NYC-based friend of mine said she’s spent so much time thinking about the emails describing last year’s box that she’s DRIVING UP TO BOSTON to claim one!

We have a new sandwich out everywhere today. It’s a take on a Buffalo Chicken sandwich. We use celery root, aka celeriac, this nobbly, gnarled joy of a winter vegetable. We cut it into planks, batter it with panko, and fry it. We’re getting ours from Norwich Meadows Farm, a farm in NY state that’s known for creating really flavorful organic veggies using a cool irrigation system.

For the week of Valentine’s Day, we’ll be delivering these Making Whoopie (Pie) Kits 😉. They have everything you need to make whoopie pies — more specifically, Chris’ favorite oatmeal cakes with beet buttercream frosting. You’ll also get a scoop for making the perfect size pie, and a roll of sugar cookie dough for more sweet fun.

Pull out your plaid and cue up the bagpipes because it’s Clover’s third-ever celebration of Burns Night, an introduction to Scottish food/drink/music/poetry and a reason to raise a glass during this dark and cold month! You may be asking yourself, what is Burns Night?
