Aaron’s Catering has a new menu item suitable as an hors d’oeuvre or in place of a salad. The base of the “molecular diablo” is mozzarella cheese that has been liquefied and reformed to look like a hard-boiled egg white. Heirloom tomato foam makes the faux yolk, and capsulized balsamic vinegar looks like caviar. The piece is served on a bed of arugula. Eaten together, it is intended to taste similar to a Caprese salad.
