This dish is all about simplicity and highlighting superb ingredients. Sourcing high-quality ingredients is the real challenge, but once you find them, you’ll never go back. All the components on the plate work in perfect harmony—creamy, fresh, sweet, char, and spice! The Sherry Vinegar from Spain brings an element of sweetness and acidity that brightens up the entire dish. —Chef Jett Mora
