Black Garlic Caviar with Tuna and Apple Tartare

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves black garlic
  • 300g water
  • 3g agar agar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 200ml neutral seed oil
  • 1 gala apple
  • 100g sashimi-grade tuna
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • chives
  • fennel fronds
  • sour cream

Preparation

  1. Put 200 ml of seed oil to cool in the freezer until it reaches 3 degrees Celsius.

  2. Blend the black garlic with water and a pinch of salt, then strain the mixture.

  3. Heat 250 ml of the liquid to be gelified and add 2.5 to 3 grams of agar agar.

  4. To activate the gelification process, ensure the temperature reaches a minimum of 90 degrees Celsius without exceeding 95 degrees Celsius to avoid altering the flavor of the liquid.

  5. Remove the liquid with a syringe or appropriate tool and drop it into the oil at 3 degrees Celsius.

  6. The slower the droplets sink to the bottom of the container, the rounder they will be.

  7. Drain the pearls with a fine mesh sieve and rinse with very cold water.

  8. Dry the pearls on kitchen paper and set them aside.

  9. Slice the apple with a mandoline, arrange the slices overlapping on a cutting board, and cut them in half.

  10. Make a tartare with the red tuna and season it with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and chives.

  11. Place the apple slices inside a ring mold, add the seasoned tartare, the black garlic pearls, and garnish with fennel fronds and dollops of sour cream.
