Appetizer • Serves 4
A striking crostini that layers the deep, nutty richness of sesame with our locally made Goan anchovy. Simple to assemble, generous in flavour and made for sharing.
The creamy silver-toned sesame spread brings together two GOAJARS sesame favourites, while anchovy, gherkin and a final crunch add salt, acidity and texture.
