Cuttlefish

Potato

  • Cook the potatoes in a pan over sand in the oven, for about 1 hour. Remove the skin, cut the flesh coarsely and using a kitchen cutter, emulsify with the oil, soy milk and black olives.
  • Add the isinglass and mix well. Put into a siphon and pour the mixture into a pan to a thickness of 2 cm. Cool everything for about 4 hours. Using a dough cup, cut into half-moon shapes.

Cardamom and citrus emulsion

  • Using an immersion blender mix the citrus juices with the vegetable stock and then add the cold cardamom oil. Add xanthan to stabilize the mixture and rest for about 1 hour.

Cuttlefish liver emulsion
