(Italian porchetta with fennel pollen, on creamy polenta)
Last weekend, while at the Les Dames d’Escoffier – Boston “Feast in the Field” event, I had the opportunity to eat something I have NEVER eaten before – Fennel Pollen. It was encased in a heavenly roll of roasted sustainably grown pork belly. I didn’t realize it was there (wasn’t expecting it) but when I took a bite it blossomed in my mouth – bang!
I need to taste it again before I can really describe it in detail. I can say that it was fennel amplified.
