Orecchiette, Pork Sausage, Saffron Sauce
Dinner @ "IO Italian Osteria".
My personal favourite dish of the evening!
And everyone pretty much gave it top marks.
The al dente of the Orecchiette was spot-on to everyone's liking. The bits of pork sausages added meatiness and umami, pretty much rendering the dish moreish.
The star however, was that delicate saffron sauce. Saffron has the propensity to overwhelm many things in its path - a heavy handful and it turned your dish medicinal. Here, the chef had a learned hand. It was employed just right - mildly spicy to whet up the appetite and not overwhelming to make you retch.
