A dusting of cracked black pepper cuts through the indulgence, adding a sharp, aromatic spark — a counterpoint that teases the palate before the next decadent bite. With the first taste, you sense the contrast: crisp and tender, sweet and savory, indulgent yet balanced — a dish that feels luxurious, comforting, and effortlessly elegant all at once.
