Inspired by Boris Godunov, The Tsar’s Crown is a taste of the Russian imperial court’s opulence and rustic Russian flavors: the deep, earthy notes of buckwheat cake meet the sensual richness of roe, smetana adds a creamy body, and pickled red onion brings a bright touch of acidity.
Ingredients: buckwheat blini, rainbow trout roe, smetana, pickled red onion, a veil of black pepper. L, G.
Allergens: fish.
The rainbow trout roe comes from Puruveden Savukala smokehouse, and the bread from a local bakery.
The dish is available at the Saimaan Maku café from July 1st to August 3rd.
Saimaan Maku offers opera-themed dishes paired with aromatic coffees and tea selections.
