Longman & Eagle
All over town this year, horseradish, dubbed the 2011 “Herb of the Year” by the International Herb Association, showed off in recipes. The downstate Illinois town of Collinsville even hosted an International Horseradish Festival. While the festival has, actually, been held for more than twenty-two years, there’s big news about horseradish: It has a sweet side. Horseradish ice cream, anyone? At Michelin-starred Longman & Eagle, the recent popularity of the spicy root collided with another trend: savory flavored marshmallows. For his ever-evolving menu, Chef Jared Wentworth toasted the horseradish marshmallow campfire-style (including a burnt tip), and served it alongside sous vide-prepared beef tongue.
