My dish breathes an autumn love affair into your senses. The companions on my plate are colors on a painter’s palette, waiting to be developed into a masterful creation. Some are seeded, roasted and spiced, while the others are crushed, strained and reduced until transformed into tasty vibrant amber and amethyst hues that scream the beautiful fall season. I am the prized jewel of the plate – a lustrous ever-so-fresh protein pulled from the salty sea just this morning.
A generous emerald-shaped cut of fish, I am perched at a diagonal on the center of my plate. One end of me happily soaks up a robust grape reduction, and the other tiptoes onto the orange-colored pillows of squash fluffed with butter and cinnamon.
A light golden layer of crispness holds my white tender meatiness together, and once you dig in, my flakes of brilliance dart off into the colorful land of my accompaniments. My mild taste, combined with the velvety fruit sauce, and the soft cushions of squash produce a rich assortment of textures and heartwarming seasonal flavors that result in true gems for your appetite.
What I’ve heard from my audience: “I can taste autumn in each and every bite.”
