Dish 7: Tarta De Santiago & Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Dish 7: Tarta De Santiago & Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

            Private dining @ "Med@59JCT", serving Mediterranean food.

Spain.

First, about the ice cream. Lovingly vanillic - I do love a good vanilla ice cream and while I appreciate a touch of salt would bring to the overall taste and enjoyment, I do think the salt level here was a tad high.....and I wasn't sure I am going to embrace "salty vanilla" akin to "salty caramel" and relatives. Vanilla I think, remains a staunch friend of sugar.

On the other hand, I NEVER try Tarta De Santiago.
Always thrilled to try something new!

Tarta de Santiago (in Spanish), literally meaning cake of St. James, is an almond cake or pie from Galicia and is made from ground almonds, eggs, and sugar, with additional flavouring of lemon zest, sweet wine, brandy, or grape marc, depending on the recipe used. The top of the pie is decorated with powdered sugar, masked by a silhouette of the Cross of Saint James (cruz de Santiago) which gives the pastry its name. The origin of the cross being decorated on the cake dates to 1924.

The version served was baked with ground almonds and refreshingly flavoured with lemon zest. Chef shared that a good cake can be determined if it had a "sticky chewy" bottom (which the one for mate and myself had). I would not mind having more of this cake if not for the fact I was filling stuffed by this time of the evening.
