Black 'Caesar' is an author's interpretation of the classic salad, embodying elegance and depth of flavors. Tender seafood kebabs made from squid and shrimp, infused with the aromas of shallots, garlic, and thyme, create a delightful texture. An exquisite sauce enriched with truffle oil and olive powder adds sophistication. The romaine lettuce soaked in this rich sauce becomes a magnificent framing for the dish. The teriyaki glaze with honey and lime provides a gentle balance of sweetness and acidity. The composition is completed by crispy panko and delicate slices of parmesan. This dish is perfect for gourmets who appreciate flavor harmony and unusual combinations. Black 'Caesar' is a rethinking of tradition that allows for a fresh perspective on the classic.
