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
Put 200 ml of seed oil to cool in the freezer until it reaches 3 degrees Celsius.
Blend the black garlic with water and a pinch of salt, then strain the mixture.
Heat 250 ml of the liquid to be gelified and add 2.5 to 3 grams of agar agar.
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.
Remove the liquid with a syringe or appropriate tool and drop it into the oil at 3 degrees Celsius.
The slower the droplets sink to the bottom of the container, the rounder they will be.
Drain the pearls with a fine mesh sieve and rinse with very cold water.
Dry the pearls on kitchen paper and set them aside.
Slice the apple with a mandoline, arrange the slices overlapping on a cutting board, and cut them in half.
Make a tartare with the red tuna and season it with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and chives.
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.
