‘Mors’ with Atsina Cress and Honny Cress

Alexander Wulf of the St. Jacques restaurant: "It takes some intelligence from the chef, but once you have discovered the possibilities, and the flavors of the cresses are etched in your memory, the Cressperience for the guests can begin."

Ingredients

  • crispy tapioca chip with beetroot juice
  • Atsina® Cress
  • 3 pears
  • 3 mangoes

For the cranberry juice:

  • 500 g cranberries
  • 1 dl apple juice

  • 1 dl raspberry juice
  • 1 dl juice of blackcurrant berries
  • 50 g Honny® Cress

For the juice of pear and mango:

  • 5 dl pear juice
  • 2 dl apple juice
  • 2 dl mango juice
  • 1 dl lime juice
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 knife point gingerbread spices
  • 2 dl juice of blackcurrant (for the red juice)

To strike out the lollipop:

  • 50 g cocoa butter
  • 50 g dark couverture

For the crispy with maltodextrin:

  • 50 g white couverture
  • 30 g cocoa butter
  • maltodextrin

For the gel of “Mors”:

  • 1 dl cranberry juice
  • 1 g of agar
  • 20 g Shiso Purple

Method

For the cranberry juice, boil all the ingredients, smoothen it in a blender and pass through a fine sieve. Reserve the it cool. For the pear / mango juice, halve the vanilla pod and remove the marrow.

Bring all the ingredients, except the juice of blackcurrant berries, to a boil and pass through a sieve. This is the clear variant. For the red variety, bring the same ingredients to a boil with the cassis berries and pass through a sieve.

Cut brunoise from the mango and pear, marinate the mango in the clear version and the pear in the red version. Freeze part of the cranberry juice in small spheres, insert a stick, melt the couverture and cocoa butter and pass the lollipops through it.

Serve them from the freezer. For the crisps, melt the couverture and cocoa butter and make coarse grains with the maltodextrin. For the gel, bring all the ingredients to a boil, pass through a sieve, allow to harden and blend smoothly.

Serve the "Mors" in a test tube, place a block of mango on top and finish with the gel and the Atsina® Cress. Dip the lollipop through the crisp and serve on the crispy tapioca with beet juice.
