Grilled polenta cakes, cardoon puree, caramelized onions and carrots. In cute little stacks like napoleons.

Renaissance Girl said...: Squad: related to artichokes, artichokey in flavor and celeryish in look. Though mine were a bit bitter tonight--I think it's too late in the year for them. Also, I roasted them instead of parboiling, which was a mistake. I tried to temper the bitter with a balsamic reduction and parmesan, and that helped, but the dish wasn't as spectacular in taste as it was in appearance.; March 31, 2010 at 8:29 PM
