Recipe for 4 people, preparation time approx. 70 minutes
• 1 Broccoli
• 3 tablespoons rapeseed oil
• 1 kg stalk cabbage
• 100 ml white wine (dry)
• 1 shallot in cubes
• 150 g fresh black salsify
• 200 ml cream
• 100 g skimmed milk powder
• 200 g butter
• 20 g Périgord Truffle
• 20 ml Hazelnut oil
• 60 g Hazelnut
1. Clean and wash the stalk cabbage. Heat 50g of butter in a frying pan and sauté the shallots. Add the stalk cabbage and fry gently. Now deglaze with some white wine and add 100 ml of cream. Bring to boil and mix to a fine puree with a mixer.
2. Put the hazelnuts on a tray and roast in the oven at 200°C for 3-4 minutes. Then put aside and later halve to decorate.
3. Wash the black salsify and peel it until white. Now cut into 4cm pieces (calculate 6-8 pieces per person) and cook them in salt water and then cool them in ice water. Cut the rest into small pieces and put them in a pan with another 50 grams of butter. Add 50ml of white wine and 100ml of cream and sauté with minimal colour formation. Now cook until soft and then puree finely in a Thermomix and season to taste.
4. Melt 100g butter in a frying pan, add milk powder and stir-fry until golden brown. Put it aside and let it cool. This only serves as crumble and does not have to be hot.
5. Clean the broccoli and cut into fine little roses. Fry them in a pan over high-heat in rapeseed oil. Add some salt and fry until it has the desired colour. Then perfume with some hazelnut oil. 6. Glaze the black salsify stick pieces in a little butter and season with salt.
7. Stir the two purees hot and place them on a warm plate, then add the fried broccoli roses and the black salsify sticks.
8. Place the whey crumble and the halved hazelnuts. Then add the Périgord truffle and serve.
