" Cougar Town star Busy Philipps attended the Hollygrove Norma Jean Gala in Beverly Hills recently, and this crudit\u00E9 display caught her eye. She declared the rows of fresh veggies in edible soil the &amp;quot;cutest crudit\u00E9 display.&amp;quot; This garden-to-table creation comes from the creative team at Schaffer&amp;#039;s Genuine Foods (SFG) in Venice, California. And they don&amp;#039;t stop at the display. The team, outfitted in garden gloves, dishes the dirt\u2014and veggies\u2014using a trowel, and homemade dressings are poured out of watering cans. Lucky for us, Kathleen Schaffer from SFG shared the dirty little secret for making the tasty &amp;quot;soil.&amp;quot;            I&amp;#039;ve NEVER seen a cuter crudit\u00E9 display! The dirt is edible!!! At the Hollygrove Norma Jean Gala! A photo posted by Busy Philipps (@busyphilipps) on Mar 18, 2014 at 7:09pm PDT     Here&amp;#039;s how to cultivate your own edible garden: Ingredients Dehydrated oil cured black olives Garlic Panko Candied lemon zest Fresh thyme Fresh oreganoCalabrian chili flakes Puffed wild rice (this requires a deep fryer at 500\u00BAF) Assorted fresh vegetables for &amp;quot;planting&amp;quot;  Directions   1. Mix minced garlic, herbs, olive oil, chili flakes, candied lemon, salt, and pepper with panko.   2. Spread the mixture out on a Silpat or parchment-lined baking tray and toast until golden brown.  3. Dehydrate olives for 24 hours or until crispy.  4. In a Robot Coupe (or other commercial-grade food processor), pulverize bread crumb mixture and olives until it is the consistency of top soil.  5. Fry wild rice at 500\u00BAF until it puffs.  6. Add fried wild rice to top soil. Note: Kathleen says that this olive bread crumb dirt is difficult for home cooks to master because a food dehydrator and commercial fryer are necessary, but she says that mixing dehydrated olives into the breadcrumb mixture and drying the concoction in a low 175\u00BAF oven for a few hours until its crunchy should do the trick. She also suggests substituting the fried wild rice for puffed rice.
