Feast Weekend Special – Whole Roasted Branzini Yassa – Black Slate

Our feature this weekend is a whole roasted branzini yassa with citrus mustard jus, crispy garlic and toasted coconut, hibiscus pickled vegetables, and couscous with green olives, roasted red pepper, dates and local crimson lentils.  All of these elements combine to create a very flavorful dish that we pair with a delicious blend of grenache blanc and pedro ximenez from the Priorat in Spain.  Black Slate “La Morera” is grown in the white chalk soils of the village La Morera which gives a textural quality to the apricot and herbal flavors with an elegant, mineral backbone coming from the soil.
