60 minutes
Beetroot baked on salt from Funny Cabany is an amazing blend of Italian cuisine and gastronomic art. Baking on salt enhances the natural sweetness of the beetroot, giving it a rich, caramelized flavor that perfectly complements aromatic herbs and spicy notes of the marinade. Lemon ricotta adds tenderness, while herb pangrattato provides a crunchy texture. The dish is multifaceted: sweet-spicy beetroot, airy ricotta, fragrant artichoke paste, and light bitterness of arugula create a harmony of flavors. Pine nuts and chili pepper finish the composition with a light nutty nuance and spicy heat. This is the perfect dish for an exquisite dinner that reveals the depth of Italian culinary art and surprises with unusual contrasts.
