Roasted Cassava Finishing Dust
Roasted Cassava Finishing Dust: A small garnish of finely ground, dried edible material added at service. It is a seasoning accent, not a layer of burnt residue, and should not cover the flavor of the plate.
Context
Use correctly processed edible cassava, fully cooked before a finishing roast or grill. Remove the woody core; cooked starch thickens liquids and needs enough moisture for a smooth result.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a restrained finishing seasoning. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
