Squid

Using a cleaned squid, cook the squid and olive oil sous vide for 30 minutes at 50c. Let it cool. Slice the squid in long, thin strips and sprinkle with olive oil, season with pepper and salt. Briefly fry the strips in a dry, non-stick pan and cool down in the refrigerator.

For the piccalilli mayonnaise

Mix both ingredients and add the whipped cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Tapioca pearls

Cook the tapioca three times and use fresh water each time. Rinse thoroughly. Marinate with the squid ink, soy sauce, rice wine, olive oil and a small amount of lime zest.

Guacamole

Blend all ingredients and pass through a sieve.

Citrus condiment

Cook the lemon juice with the cane sugar until you get a syrupy mass. Add the white soy sauce and the olive oil. Season with fleur de sel.

Candied red bell peppers

Preheat the oven to 190c. Put the red bell pepper together with some olive oil in a baking dish. Roast the red bell pepper for 20 minutes in the oven until it’s almost black. Let it cool down for a while, peel the red bell pepper and pour the juice from the baking dish through a sieve. Mix the juice with a few tsps of good quality olive oil and put the red bell pepper, sliced in strips, back in the dish. Season with salt and pepper and heat until it reaches its boiling point. Let it cool down immediately.

Marinated shii-meji

Cut the caps off the white beech mushrooms. Bring the vinegar to the boil and pour over the mushrooms. Let it marinate for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Red bell pepper sorbet

Blend the ingredients in a thermomix. Let it rest for a while. Sieve and churn until you have sorbet.

Squid dressing

Mix the olive oil, ponzu, basil oil, roasted & chopped pine nuts, candied red bell pepper and the delicately sliced basil.

Ink tuile

Mix the panko with all liquid ingredients and soak for just under an hour until everything is black. Put the mixtures in the thermomix with all the other ingredients except for the malto. Blend very well and pass through a sieve. Add the malto to the mixture. Spread it out on a silpat and dry in a food dryer/ dehumidifier at 60c until it’s crispy.

Sweet and sour shallots

For the sweet and sour mixture, bring all the ingredients to the boil and pass through a sieve. Cook the mustard seeds for 45 minutes in chicken stock. Let it cool down and marinate in rice wine and sushi vinegar.

Slice the shallots into a desired shape. Add the cold sweet and sour mixture and sous vide to cook the shallots.

Put the cold squid strips on the plate and cover with the following: delicately chopped piccalilli, cream of piccalilli, black tapioca, cream of avocado, citrus condiment, strips of red bell pepper, violets, liquorice, mustard seeds, delicately grated mojama (dried and salted tuna fish), salmon eggs, red bell pepper sorbet, a piece of ink tuile and the marinated shii-meji.
