Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2: Unicum, But Make It Plum
Unicum is Hungary’s most iconic herbal liqueur. For this recipe, I’ll be using Unicum Szilva, the plum-kissed jewel of the Unicum family, whose dark, velvety sweetness brings a quiet depth to winter dishes. With it, I’ll be making Roasted Duck Legs with Red Wine Unicum Jus, Plum Compote & Parsnip Purée - a plate where richness, fruit, and earth meet so gracefully it almost feels like a little opera unfolding in the kitchen.
