Lilly Handmade Chocolate, originally uploaded by much0mas.
Tremont's Lilly Handmade Chocolate opened today, Sunday, May 25th, 2008, at 761 Starkweather Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113, on the site of the old Browns Market.
The space is quite beautiful, with shiny new wooden flooring and pink velvet wallpaper. The owner, a friendly young woman with shocking pink hair, assured us that in addition to the selection of exquisite chocolates, there would soon be a collection of chocolate-friendly beers, wines, and ports.
I bought at least two pieces of each chocolate, and I've given a short description as well as my impressions for each piece.
A beautiful escolar fillet, pan seared with a touch of sesame oil, and a refreshing mango pineapple habañero salsa atop hand-made tortilla chips.
Served with plain white rice on a bed of fresh organic spinach.
Grilled Romaine with Seared Flank Steak, originally uploaded by much0mas.
Quartered romaine heart dressed with olive oil and seasoned sea salt then put under the broiler until wilted.
The flank steak was rubbed with salt, black pepper, and red chile flakes, then pan seared until well browned. After resting, it was cut into thin strips.
To finish, the pan was deglazed with white wine, and the stock was poured over the plated lettuce and steak strips.
