Sea Buckthorn & Carrot

Sea Buckthorn "Parfait"

1. Begin by blooming the 5 sheets of gelatine in the 50g of carrot juice.
2. Combine the 450g sea buckthorn, 125g carrot juice, 25g ultra sperse and the 40g sugar and blend on medium speed until mixture begins to thicken.
3. Warm bloomed gelatine in the carrot juice until it has dissolved and add to the blender with all other ingredients.
4. Once combined, put in a cool place and allow to become gelatinous.
5. Meanwhile, whip up the 130g of carrot juice and the 13g of egg white powder in a stand mixer until thick and frothy.
6. At this point, combine 200g of the base mix, 50g sea buckthorn juice, 20g of carrot “meringue”, and season with salt and lemon juice to taste.
7. Proceed by quickly putting this into a vacuum bag to aerate in a vacuum machine. Stop machine when parfait reaches the surface and store in a blast chiller until frozen completely through.
8. To portion, remove “parfait” from vacuum bag and drop into liquid nitrogen so that it is easy to handle.
9. Slice the parfait in half so that you are left with two flat square pieces.

11. Freeze parfait rounds until ready to use.
