Week beginning July 7th - Raw menu

For the 3^rd summer in a row Kaffeine is celebrating the rise in temperature with an all raw lunchtime selection. The benefits of a raw diet means maximum fibre and nutrients are absorbed without damaging vitamins, protein and amino acids through heat methods. A raw menu also gives the kitchen some relief as the kitchen can sometimes double as a sauna when the ovens are on.

This week’s highlights include heirloom tomato salad with bresaola, which is a very lean cut of beef that has been dry cured for around 3 months until the meat is almost purple in colour. The bresaola and tomatoes are then layered with marinated olives, fresh peas, red onion, goat’s cheese and rocket.

Our next raw summer goody involves cooling cucumber, fennel, pistachio, parsley, pomegranate dressing and wild carrot flowers. These florets have a very clear carrot flavour but with a more complex flavour profile. They are visually stunning with a small dot of red in the centre of the cluster of white blossom, this is meant to attract insect to pollinate.

Our tart this week has taken a little break to make room for an equally delicious yet healthier option. Rice paper wraps with fresh tuna that has been cold cured in an Asian spiced brine. We will be serving 2 per serve with the option of salads.

So please come in and let us hear you roar (love a food based pun) over this week’s selection.
