Boldo Bol serves earth-to-table Delecta-Bols in Santa Ana
Chef Paul Chamberlain and his wife, Judy, opened Boldo Bol in East End Santa Ana, CA on July 9, 2014. Boldo Bol’s philosophy is rooted in the Slow Food Movement. Their mission is to change the way OC residents dine by following these principles: honoring heritage, locally grown, day picked, nutrient focused, steamed or seared, naturally seasoned, ethically concerned, community supported, and committed to education. Whole foods are sourced within a 250-mile radius of the restaurant.
Dishes Tried:
Salad Bol
Salad Bol consists of just-picked lettuce and herbs with red pepper, daikon, yam, and pumpkin seeds. The vegetables are bright green and refreshing. The red bell peppers and yams are sweet. Daikon adds a little kick. The pumpkin seeds add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, like a natural crouton.
Fish Bol
Fish Bol consists of wild caught black cod with citrus, green onion, and garlic. The black cod is juicy and soft like butter. The Swiss chard has an Asian flavor – shoyu and sesame seed oil – which worked really well. The citrus flavor is very light, but the green onions give the dish a bright, refreshing flavor.
Chicken Bol
Chicken Bol consists of locally raised chicken braised with harissa and black beans. The chicken is tender but needs a little more salt. The harissa has a smoky flavor, almost like chipotle. The corn medley is naturally sweet. The black beans are cooked to tender perfection but need a little more salt. But, if you are watching your salt intake, this might be the dish for you.
