Roasted Fresh Herbs Finishing Dust

Roasted Fresh Herbs 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

Name the actual edible herbs instead of relying only on “fresh herbs.” Their tenderness and aromas differ; use only identified culinary leaves, not decorative foliage.

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.
