Back at Absolute Elyx, this time for an event put on by Roe Caviar where our chef Matt created a special menu that had, yes, caviar on every plate. Very luxurious!
Things got kick started with small bites of appetizers and, of course, cocktails. Here’s a rundown of each course:
.
Tuna Tar Tar + Roe Caviar on a Crispy Saffron Risotto Cake
with fermented chili oil and finger limes
.
.
Twice Baked Banana Fingerling Potatoes with Smoked Brisket + Roe Caviar
.
.
Sweet Potato, Corn + Shishito Pepper Hush Puppies
with bell pepper coulis, preserved lemon, and roe caviar
.
.
Uni Tosada Tacos
with crème fraiche, cilantro blossoms, and roe caviar
.
.
Sweet Corn Bisque
with fried marjoram, soured milk cream, black truffle, and roe caviar marinated in corn milk
.
.
Little Gem Caesar Salad
with grilled endive, buttery brioche croutons, shaved parmesan reggiano, and roe caviar dressing
.
.
Marinated Zucchini + Grilled Squash
with whipped yogurt and roe caviar vinaigrette
.
.
Hand-cut Chittara Pasta
with fertile egg, black pepper shaved pecorino, and roe caviar
.
.
Olive Oil Poached Salmon Belly
with roasted cabbage, sweet potato steak fries, fried shallot rings, and roe caviar aioli
.
Isn’t this buffet so cute? I love the contrast of our rustic set-up with these dainty, girly little plates. Also the branding of Roe Caviar is part of the design rather than competes with it, and allows the food, drenched in Roe Caviar, to really pop and make your mouth water.
