Beluga in English is an exquisite dish of British cuisine that combines simplicity of preparation with aristocratic taste.

A lemon mashed potato garnish adds freshness, while the classic béchamel sauce makes the dish particularly harmonious by adding a creamy texture. Such a treat is perfect for both a festive dinner and a special family lunch, highlighting the richness of flavor nuances.
