Soon into HLAY's little life, it became abundantly clear that the dishes below were the signatures at HLAY. We took the tartare off for a spell (the lamb was good but we made a lot of people mad by not serving beef), the farmer couldn't grow the tomatoes fast enough once, and for a few months in 2018, you could say the same about China re: frog's legs ... but all five classics will be sold on Friday, alongside Chef Thessa's cult-fave Hazelnut Meringue Cake. We will also sell select provisions derivative of these dishes for you to take home. Tonnato sauce in your fridge, imagine that!

HLAY PROVISIONS FOR YOUR KITCHEN:

STEAK RUB SEASONING $12
(16oz jar) Ingredients: allium powder, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, parsley, kosher salt
We rubbed this on ALL the meats that hit the grill: steaks, pork chops, quail! You ought to do the same.
Shelf life: 6 months

ONIKASU SEASONING $14
(16oz jar) Ingredients: secret chilies, garlic, spices, sugar and butter
We used a generous amount of onikasu, aka "devil flakes," in our Beef Tartare. Like the red seasoning shaker at a ramen shop, a sprinkling of it would also be excellent on: eggs, avocado toast, soups, grilled vegetables, et al. You can also season your chicken before a roast.
Shelf life: 6 months; contains: dairy

SCALLION VINAIGRETTE $14
(16oz jar) Ingredients: pickled scallion, tamari, mirin, sugar, sesame oil
We also used a generous amount of this scallion vinaigrette in our Beef Tartare. We recommend drizzling it over steamed or baked fish, vegetables, grilled meats, raw carpaccio.
Keep refrigerated and use forever

CITRUS PONZU SAUCE $6
(12oz bottle) Ingredients: white soy, tamari, mirin, kombu, katsuobushi, lemon, lime, orange
We were planning on having an Oyster Night on 7/3, and the Morro Bay oysters were in the UPS truck and everything, but then the Governor sounded the alarm on weekend gatherings, and well, we weren't sure if you would come. But we had prepped all this delicious ponzu mignonette! YOU should have an oyster party and invite us on Zoom. It would, of course, be dreamy on all crudo, and if you add oil, you can make it salad dressing.
Keep refrigerated and use forever; contains gluten

TONNATO SAUCE $10
(5oz bottle) Ingredients: preserved tuna, olive oil, fish sauce, lemon juice, kewpie mayonnaise, capers, garlic
This sauce needs no introduction ... she was what you dipped your Shishito Peppers in. She is what you dipped your annual Tet Veal Tonnato Rolls in. She can also be used for: crudite, grilled or sautéed vegetables, fresh charcuterie, deli meats.
Keep refrigerated and use within four weeks

SALSA NEGRA $10
(8oz container) Ingredients: pasilla, ancho chili, chili California, chipotle, Thai chili flakes, brown sugar, oil
Six little frog's legs got tossed all up in this salsa negra. Wouldn't it be lovely on some chicken wings? Also soups, sauces, vinaigrette, grilled and fried meats
Keep refrigerated and use within 6 months
