Glasserie – Charred Eggplant, Charcoal Black Tahini, Kashkaval Ribbon & Fresh Tomato Salsa

$2.00 – $12.00

“This is my favorite dish from a decade of Glasserie recipes! The smokiness is super seductive and enhanced by the contrast with garlicky, sweet, and tart tomatoes. While we love the addition of the choux pastry, a fresh pita would also accompany this well. If you’re intimidated by the choux pastry, skip it and you will still be transported.” – Owner, Sara Conklin

OWNER SARA CONKLIN’S STORY

Having grown up overseas, Conklin was exposed to many cuisines and cultures at an early age. The ritual Friday afternoon Indian buffet in Arabian Gulf, simple penne rosso in Ticino, the roadside, Pakistani feast at the back of the gas station in Oman, golden grilled Halloumi and morning-caught red mullet in Cyprus, her Lebanese grandmother’s green beans, and uni-don breakfast of champions in Sapporo, the list goes on.

Conklin honed her professional skills with the Cipriani empire as Director of Operations, starting with the world-renowned family business when she was 22 and exiting only once the plan for Glasserie had been formulated, over eleven years later. After opening locations for Cipriani in Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles, and having a toe in all of their 8 NYC Banquet &
Restaurant locations, she felt ready to embark on her own Greenpoint adventure in 2011.
