A most unusual Italian dessert, from the southern regions.
Pork blood and chocolate tart, caprese(meaning from Capri), with tonka bean gelato.
Once viewing the dessert menu and seeing this offering at Bar Buca, a very high end Italian restaurant in Toronto, it had to be tried, just for the sake of trying something so unusual.
It tasted like a bittersweet chocolate dense cake, similar to flourless cake. It arrived with the gelato on top and then high proof alcohol was poured around it and lit, so..... flambe!
Bar Buca had a number of interesting menu items. I love trying unique plates in far off cities, and bringing the ideas home.
As Always,
ENJOY!
