I sear meat, chicken, turkey or chiles for a golden-brown exterior, and that caramelization lends flavor to the soup. In most cases, I like to roast fruits and vegetables just until the point of being burnt, for maximum caramelization and sweetness. One outstanding effort is the risotto di zucca ($13), technically a savory creation, but offering a delicious touch of sweetness from the caramelization of its butternut squash (not pumpkin) main ingredient -- other than the obvious rice -- along with a welcome sage undertone. |
