Lo and behold the Carrot and Burrata dip!
Another addition here at Tinys to get your veggie in. We roast off carrots and blend them with creamy burrata, garlic, and some lemon to make it ✨POP✨

We then dress this up with sweet teardrop peppers, fresh mint, and some gooood olive oil. You might be wondering “what are we dipping in the dip?!?” Well we got you covered with some fluffy and crusty focaccia that is hit with some flakey salt. It’s here for a good time, not a long time so act accordingly!

Let us welcome the new kid on the block… or menu if you will.
These cheesy arancini are going to be a necessity to kick off any meal at Tinys. We don’t make the rules. We take risotto that’s been chilled and mix it with 4 different cheeses. Each one plays an important part in the cheesiness effect. We then bread them and fry up till nice and crispy. Placed in a bed of tomato vodka sauce and topped with bright basil oil. The whole dish is showered with parmesan to hit ya with another layer of cheese. We love these little things and hope y’all do too.

Well today we are going to celebrate the champions that makes Tinys so great. We will be taking the day off for a staff party to rest and recoup. We will see yall tomorrow.
