Daily menu, July 4th: a delightful trio of flavors

The tri-colored vegetable terrine is a stunning starter that brings a burst of color and flavor to your table. This light appetizer features layers of fresh vegetables, including red and yellow peppers, eggplant, zucchini, and red onion, all beautifully arranged in a terrine. The use of tomato juice and a hint of red wine vinegar adds a tangy depth, while raisins provide a touch of sweetness. The dish is set with gelatin, making it easy to slice and serve. Drizzled with olive oil, this terrine is not only visually appealing but also a healthy choice, perfect for summer gatherings or as a refreshing start to any meal.

For the main dish, we present sabudana vada with chutney, a popular Indian snack that is both satisfying and flavorful. Made from soaked sago, this dish features crispy fritters that are packed with the goodness of boiled potatoes and roasted peanuts. The addition of finely chopped green chilies and fresh cilantro adds a zesty kick, while a squeeze of lemon juice brightens the flavors. Served with a tangy chutney, these vadas are perfect for dipping and make for a delightful meal. Whether enjoyed as a snack or a main course, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.

To round off our menu, we have a delectable chocolate flan, a dessert that is both indulgent and gluten-free. This flan is made with rich cocoa powder and creamy milk, resulting in a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. With the addition of vanilla and a hint of sugar, this dessert strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and chocolate richness. The use of cornstarch instead of flour ensures that it is suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Serve this light flan chilled, and watch as it becomes the star of your meal, leaving everyone craving more.
