Beans on toast has been reimagined as dessert by British chef James Dempsey at the Blackmoor Dining Room in Leeds, Yorkshire. While the original comprises toast, a fried egg and marzipan, his version includes a lemon cake with mango and vanilla panna cotta (instead of the egg) and marzipan (instead of the beans). And it is the signature dish of the restaurant.
Dempsey shot to fame in 2016, when he brought the British Burrito to the masses. His creation of the Yorkshire pudding wrap filled with roast beef became a viral sensation and has since been replicated across the county and further.
“I just love working with simple dishes and great ingredients then putting my own special twist on them and transforming them into an experience. That is exactly the thinking behind the menu at Blackmoor Dining Room,” he added.
“The Yorkshire pudding wrap still gets tongues wagging, and I hope that my sweet beans on toast will prove as popular. Tomato ketchup is optional. The dish has been inspired by a chef who I really admire, Ben Churchill, but to my knowledge, it is the first time that it is available on a restaurant’s menu,” Dempsey said.
“I just cannot wait to see the reaction. It took a few attempts to get the texture of the egg right, but using the panna cotta means it is the same consistency as a real fried egg. It messes with your mind a bit,” he added.
The Blackmoor Dining Room has a minimal menu, featuring the finest, locally-sourced ingredients. The experience pops up behind a secret door, known only to the most fanatical of foodies, at varying times each week.
Patrons can expect the unexpected as they discover the secret centre hidden within the chicken liver pate, are dazzled by the colours of the harissa chicken and Thai rice, and tuck into the signature dessert of sweet beans on toast.
Dempsey said, “We pride ourselves on quality at the Blackmoor Dining Room. We are not just a promise on a menu. We deliver on presentation, quality, and most importantly, taste.”
“Whilst the evolving restaurant scene is right now all about fads and fashion, we are proud to deliver on the basics well, but with a twist that you will never forget,” he added.
