Which dish, traditionally served to monks ending a fast, receives contemporary adjustments like a wasabi cream base?
Answer
Monastery chicken
Executive chef Bojan Bocvarov incorporates contemporary creativity into traditional dishes. A prime example of this modern tweaking is the dish sometimes referred to as 'monastery chicken.' This item, which traditionally was served to monks to mark the end of a fast, is reinterpreted at Ambar by being presented on a bed of finely chopped apples and shallots, finished with a wasabi cream, designed to appeal to a broader, modern palate.
