Description

Recipe from a restaurant in Tver. Once again, it’s all about the sauce. Orange, cranberry, grenadine, and honey create a sweet and tangy berry component, while a blend of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, and pepper adds spice to the sauce. This sauce pairs wonderfully not only with cheese but also with steak or kebabs. Recipe taken from the book 'Taste Geography with John Smith. Culinary Guides.'
