Chef Tyler Brown uses his fascination with agriculture and hospitality to create a butter-soft pea dip with the use of Hubs peanuts. His fascination with Hubs began at Virginia’s Keswick Hall were he discovered the “premier peanut” and experimented with its flavor by boiling the peanuts in broth from cooked Carolina conch peas from Marsh Hen Mill. This flavorful dish is now a staple recipe for Brown as he prefers recipes that highlight ingredients natural flavors.
