The Secret Ingredient? Pistachios.
Pistachios have been cozying themselves into the folds of menus all over, a simple celebration of this unique nut, catapulted by the infamous and overplayed act of the crunchy, sweet Dubai chocolate. Pistachios have a variety of uses through their light, sweet flavor profile and crunchy texture.
We’ve created an elegant multi-course evening where the pistachio is thoughtfully woven throughout each course, adding depth, texture, and subtle warmth without overpowering the dishes. And with St. Patrick’s day around the corner, this is a delicious way to add some unconventional St. Paddy’s Day green into the mix.
