Method

Lavender oil

Vacuum the fresh lavender with the grape seed oil and cook at 58C for 12 hours in a water bath. Let it cool and leave to infuse for a further 24 hours. Strain through a Belgian sieve. Keep in a cool and dark place.

Green tomato sauce

Puree the tomatoes and strain through a fine Chinose sieve. Mix the rest of the ingredients together, strain through a fine sieve and leave to cool.

Summer squash marinade

Dry roast mustard and coriander seeds in a pan. Then, finely crush them in a mortar. Boil with the spices. Add lavender and allow to infuse in a cool place overnight. Then strain through a fine sieve.

Prepare summer squash

Summer squash slices: Peel the summer squash. Cut the summer squash lengthwise 5x1mm thick slices. Just before serving, marinade the summer squash slices with summer squash marinade for 30 seconds.

Summer squash cubes: Cut 20 9x9mm cubes from the summer squash. Grate the rest of the summer squash with a grater.

Summer Squash Salad: Mix the roughly torn summer squash with the remaining ingredients and season to taste. Add peppers depending on the degree of hotness.

Fried sweet potato confit

Peel the sweet potatoes and but in 5mm thick and about 9cm long slices. Confit the sweet potatoes with the remaining ingredients until soft. Fry quickly but sharply on both sides before serving.

Finish summer squash

Place the summer squash salad on the sweet potato slices. Sprinkle the almonds on the salad and then cover loosely with a summer squash disc. Briefly steam the squash cubes, marinate with the tomato juice and place around the summer squash salad. Garnish with green almonds and the Scottish lovage. Serve the tomato juice on the side.
