LAB X KITCHEN THERAPY X THE KITCHEN TRAIL
Finger sandwiches are an essential part of the Afternoon Tea or High Tea. It lends the wholesomeness to the in-between meal. For this menu, we aimed to cross promote the existing items that LAB makes in-house with the sole goal to make you try the various breads and understand how they can be paired with stellar ingredients.
This menu consisted of two: Apple + Brie and the Edamame Hummus + Purple Cabbage
Apple + Brie:
This sandwich was a super hit on the menu and converted even the staunchest traditionalist towards fusion. The soft Pumpkin Bread, which is an in-house specialty at LAB, pairs perfectly against spicy onion and thyme, along with sweet apple and savoury brie cheese.
Note: in place of brie, can use any other strong flavoured cheese, like red Leicester, smoked cheese, or gouda
Edamame Hummus + Purple Cabbage:
This is a beautiful play on colour and texture, where we have Ragi Bread which is indulgently healthy and coarse, paired with creamy Edamame Hummus and the best part – caramelised crispy purple cabbage. Purple cabbage is shredded into fine strip and grilled on high heat with a pat of salted butter and nothing else – it is simply delicious.
Note: Edamame Hummus and Ragi Bread are both individually on sale at LAB
