National Veggie Week

At the Salt Room

Hero the vegetable…

Ahead of National Vegetarian Week we thought we’d celebrate by sharing the secret recipes to one of our newest veggie dishes at The Salt Room. It’s quickly become one of your favourites; Charred Artichoke with Stracciatella, Pink Grapefruit and Truffle Dressing. The dish is achingly seasonal, the freshness of the grapefruit coupled with the Stracciatella and the richness of the truffle dressing work together perfectly for these brighter days, best coupled with a crisp cold glass of white. We suggest Bread & Butter, Californian Chardonnay.

The Method

Ingredients

Truffle Dressing

1 clove garlic minced
70g extra virgin olive oil
40g chardonnay vinegar
8g white truffle oil

Divide the Stracciatella between four starter plates. Move cheese around so as to fill almost to the rim of the plate.

Top the cheese with the artichoke pieces, 3 per plate

Finish the dish by drizzling the truffle dressing over the dish and enjoy!
