Guisantes lágrima from Maresme, also known as Maresme green caviar, are undoubtedly a benchmark for food lovers. Now, the Torres brothers have revived this exclusive dish at their restaurant Dos Cielos in Madrid, together with their executive chef, Damián González. What’s more, this time this master recipe is served on exclusive crockery designed by Santos Bregaña, Spain’s most important crockery designer and ceramist.
This careful collaboration at Dos Cielos Madrid between signature cuisine and fine craftsmanship pays tribute, for one year, to craftsmanship and artistic talent, with this delicious ingredient as the protagonist, with a very short seasonality. They have only two floradas a year, one in winter and one in spring, both equally excellent. “For us, there is no doubt that the peas give life to one of our most iconic dishes, in which there are many years of refinement behind it. An exceptional product that can only result in an outstanding preparation, with the pea as the absolute protagonist”, say the Torres brothers.
For this season, the ‘guisantes lágrima’ will be served on the exclusive Sélavy crockery, designed by Santos Bregaña and whose idea is based on the work and thoughts of the artist Marcel Duchamp. The plates have been manufactured by the French luxury porcelain maison Bernardaud. This collection seeks to represent the reliefs drawn by nature itself. There are no straight lines on the plates, only sinuous shapes full of movement. The concept gives the Torres brothers’ workmanship an illusory sense of swaying that fills the tear pea dish with dynamism.
