PULQUE BRAISED TAPIOCA

This dessert was created to highlight our "Chino Chilango" (translated to Chinese person in Mexico City) supper. The dish was influenced by our visit to Mexico City where we sampled many different flavors of Pulque (an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the agave plant) at a local pulqueria. The Chinese influence of the Ginger and Lemongrass was a great complimentary flavor profile to the distinct acidic notes of Pulque.

braised with lemongrass, galangal, cinnamon, coconut and pulque. topped with; honeydew melon w/ lavender salt, 

papaya tossed in candied sesame seeds, and fried candied ginger.
