Aubergine "Schnitzel", oven roasted potato, chimichurri & coleslaw

• 
  
• Ideally, animal based products should be eliminated from our menus, yet if consumed, they should be sustainably produced and local as possible. The bavette offcuts were use as they are: leftovers, secondary cuts and local. Aubergine is a great meat substitute!
• The Chimichurri sauce is made with herbs and spices that had a better day. They are slightly fermented in vinegar and lemon to create an acidic sauce that compliments the rest of the dish.
  

Thinly sliced pineapple, fruit coulis, brownie crumble & coconut sorbet  

• 
  
• The pineapple started to rot, they almost threw it away, but I was there just in time to save it. When fruits are starting to rut, there is a tiny time frame where they are actually at their prime with regards to flavour.
• The brownie crumble is made from the off cuts from banqueting kitchen. 
•  The coulis is made from a collection of the fruits that were left behind after events and from off cuts. 

It's in our hands
