Cress mix:

  • Place the cress in ice water for half an hour.
  • Dry the cresses in a cloth.
  • Store the cress mix in a closed container with a lid with a damp paper at the bottom.

Espuma of sweet and sour beetroot and Zalloti Blossom:

  • Add all ingredients together in a thermomixer, heat it to 70 degrees and turn it for 5 minutes to release all the flavor of the Zalloti Blossom sprigs and let it cool down.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine sieve and press it thoroughly with a spoon/pan scraper.
  • Blend the pro espuma with a stick blender until it is smooth.
  • Pour it all into the kidde and refrigerate for use with 2 cartridges and a serrated nozzle.
  • Shake before use.

Powder of Shiso Purple:

  • Dry the leaves on a silicone mat in the microwave for 90 seconds on full speed until they are crispy dry, if not, add 30 seconds.
  • Grind the dried leaves to a fine powder in an electric coffee grinder.
  • Store the powder in a coffee grinder.

Comments
The leaves are dried in the microwave because this keeps them beautifully green and best retains the taste.
It is best to store the powder in a sealed container or bag in the freezer, so that the powder loses virtually no color, smell or taste.
