Toast "a la russe"
5 servings
20 minutes
The 'a la russe' toast is a refined blend of European sophistication and Russian gastronomic soul. A crispy baguette infused with a light garlic aroma serves as the perfect base for delicate cod liver, rich in deep sea flavor. The creamy texture of avocado wrapped around spicy arugula adds softness and freshness to the dish, while a finishing touch of balsamic cream introduces a refined sweet-sour note. This toast not only delights the palate but also recalls the tradition of combining simple yet flavorful ingredients. Ideal as a morning delicacy or an exquisite appetizer with white wine.
