Vine peach, riesling, hazelnut and Syrha Leaves

We see a trend in the use of the cresses in Heiko Lacher's desserts from Restaurant Anima. He mainly chooses cresses with the sour notes.

Method

Bring water and juice to the boil with tonka bean, peels and parures, allow to infuse, pass through a sieve and poach the peaches. Make an anglaise of all ingredients, cool back and turbine.

Syrha Leaves® are the blue-green leaves with a silvery glow, from a plant that was already appreciated by the Egyptians and Greeks and is related to the rhubarb.

The plant is quite common throughout Europe. Oily dishes, in particular, become more digestible due to the emulsifying capacity of this plant.
