02 Sep Naked For Satan, Fitzroy Take 2

Carrot w. Butter Fried Mushrooms, Onions w. Anchovy and Olive

Today’s selection:
– Pissaladiere: onions, anchovy and olive.
– Tuna, Egg Whites, Anchovy and Pickled Chilli
– Cauliflower, Manouri Cheese & Garlic Prawn
– Eggplant Chip w. Cream Cheese
– Smoked Chicken w. Corn Relish
– Tortilla w. Aioli
– Carrot w. Garlic-Fried Mushrooms

Examples of the pintxos I didn’t try:
– Grilled veg salad and balsamic
– Jamon serrano
– Spicy sopressa
– Chocolate cannoli
– Gilda: olives, picked chillies and anchovy
– Smoked chilli mussel w. chickpea (looked very similar to the octopus one I tried last time)
– Wine poached pear w. feta, marscapone cheese and walnuts.

There were a couple of pinxtos that were the same as on my previous visit, such as the chocolate truffle, calamari w. squid ink risoni and smoked trout w. cornichon and onion.

Tuna, Egg Whites, Anchovy and Pickled Chilli; Cauliflower, Manouri Cheese & Garlic Prawn; Eggplant Chip w. Cream Cheese; Smoked Chicken w. Corn Relish; Tortilla w. Aioli; Onions w. Anchovy and Olive

Pissaladiere: onions, anchovy and olive. The onions were sweet and tender and the anchovy gave it a pleasant salt and flavour hit.

Tuna, Egg Whites, Anchovy and Pickled Chilli. I didn’t realise the tuna was a mixture with mayo, like what’s commonly found in tuna sandwiches. If I’d known I probably wouldn’t have picked it. Although the anchovy did make it taste better. The egg whites were interesting, but it was a bit unfortunate that I couldn’t try all the ingredients together because of the spread and size.

Cauliflower, Manouri Cheese & Garlic Prawn.

Eggplant Chip w. Cream Cheese. The eggplant chip was still crispy, though when I arrived the plate was nearly full so maybe they were fresh. I did think the cream cheese was a bit sweet so I didn’t eat much of it.

Smoked Chicken w. Corn Relish. The chicken was quite nice, not overcooked, and the relish had some grainy mustard

Tortilla (potatoes, onion and egg) w. Aioli. A little bland and could have done with a bit more salt. It was still moist though, and the egg was similar to what’s in quiche.

Carrot w. Garlic-Fried Mushrooms. I couldn’t really taste the garlic.

All the pinxtos were OK, but the only one I was particularly impressed with was the pissaladiere (I went back for seconds). Unfortunately the staff didn’t come out with any hot pinxtos while I was there.
