Recipe
Cook Time: 5 hours
Servings: 50 boutique portions
Ingredients
- •1kg Fresh Zander fillets (Sudak)
- •2kg Cauliflower florets
- •500ml Heavy cream (33% fat)
- •10g Squid ink
- •200g Sago pearls
- •300g Local goat cheese
- •100ml Cold-pressed white grape juice
- •5g Edible silver leaf
- •500ml Coconut milk
- •150g Fine sugar
- •Sea salt and white pepper to taste
- •200ml Neutral grapeseed oil
Instructions
- 1For the Graphite Crisp: Boil sago pearls until translucent, blend with squid ink, spread thinly on silicone mats, and dehydrate at 60C for 4 hours before flash-frying in hot oil to create a brittle graphite texture.
- 2For the Clinical White Puree: Simmer cauliflower in cream and a touch of water until soft, blend at high speed with chilled butter until a silk-like texture is achieved, then pass through a fine-mesh chinois for a laboratory-smooth finish.
- 3For the Poached Zander: Season fish with sea salt and vacuum-seal with a touch of grapeseed oil; cook sous-vide at 52C for 20 minutes to maintain a pristine white, pearlescent flake that reflects the silver aesthetic.
- 4For the Goat Cheese Emulsion: Whip local goat cheese with a splash of cream and white pepper until airy; transfer to a stainless steel siphon for clinical-style foam application.
- 5For the Titanium Sorbet: Combine coconut milk and sugar syrup, churn in a professional ice cream maker, and serve in chilled glass vessels over dry ice for a lab-inspired vapor effect.
- 6Assembly: Arrange the poached Zander atop the cauliflower silk, garnish with the shattered Graphite Crisps and delicate dots of silver leaf to complete the premium clinical look.
