Black and Orange: Black Bread with Manchego, Marmalade, and Hazelnuts
They say you eat first with your eyes. I love the contrast of these ingredients: black pumpernickel baguette, salty Manchego, sweet-tart orange-tangerine marmalade, crunchy hazelnuts, and black Himalayan salt. Not only do the orange and black provide the required spooky contrast, but the salty and sweet flavors play against each other for a really surprising and triumphant combination. Happy Halloween!
