We rely on our bulletproof beurre monte as a flavorful base and foundation for sauces. During our dinner at Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana we built off our base model and made three flavorful montes, actually four, to support our sauces. We started with the base monte and then flavored one variation with sunchoke miso, one with fermented black beans and truffle oil, one with pecorino, and (the one not pictured) a green curry version enriched with steamed cockles and aromatics. Using the model and then interchanging the parts has allowed us to create limitless flavor bases. We build a solid foundation and then decorate it in new and delicious ways.
