Roasted Cucumber With Rice And Mollusk Broth

Many wonderful things can be said about this dish. It is quite possibly the best cucumber recipe we have tried, ever, or at least in a very long time since we can’t remember a better one. The sublimation of a vegetable, it demonstrates its sapid, textural splendor – immaculate in both senses. The cucumber is tasted and chewed – the simpler the better. A minimalist, modest dish, bursting with talent, supported only by the grandeur of a risotto, also of cucumber, which professes such a singular flavor and texture, along with the cucumber, it combines to produce a firm, al dente experience on the palate. The dish is finished with a mollusk fumet enriched with chicken stock that imparts a natural, healthy, flavorful and, above all, clean taste to the ensemble – destined for open-minded people and those who tolerate sumptuousness.
