Preparation
- For the jelly, peel and cut the beetroot, cook with juice and spices for 1.5 hours, drain. Mix 500 ml beetroot stock with Agar-Agar and cook for approx. 2-3 minutes. Stir in the dissolved gelatine. Pour the mixture into a square dish and let become firm. Tip the jelly out of the dish and cut into cubes.
- For the white chocolate espuma: heat the cream and QimiQ Classic and whisk smooth. Stir in the chocolate. Continue to stir over ice until cold. Pour into a 0.5 litre iSi Gourmet Whip bottle, screw in two chargers, shake well and chill.
- For the basil ice cream, place the QimiQ Classic, egg yolks, sugar and salt in the Thermomix bowl and mix at 160 °F. Blanch the basil. Blend the basil and the cream until smooth. Combine the basil mixture with the egg mixture and pour into an ice cream machine.
- For the peanut crumbs, beat the egg whites with sugar, Xanthan, and Agar-Agar until stiff. Fold in the nuts. Spread the mixture evenly onto the non-stick baking mat and bake at 320° F for 10 Minutes. Turn the heat to 122 °F and let the mixture dry over night. Allow to cool and brake or cut into small pieces.
- Serve the beetroot jelly with the white cocolate espuma, basil ice cream and peanut crumbs.
