Sometimes, it takes an ingredient you never saw coming to make a dish truly unforgettable. An unexpected ingredient, whether a hint of sweetness or a savory surprise, can take a plate from familiar to anything but ordinary. Here, a local restaurant proves that a little creativity can go a long way.
“We made the beet root panna cotta with the intention of showing that foods that are normally served as savory can also be made sweet. The beets add a touch of earthiness to an otherwise very rich dessert, as well as a striking pink color for sake of presentation.”
