Ingredients Serves 4
Length: 30 m 1 hour
For the cream
300 g fresh peas or frozen 300 g water
For the floating island
150 g whipped cream 30 g
truffle juice (if you does not have is not so bad, I reduced the cooking morels)
1 sheet gelatin
Optional: 4 slices of truffle (you can also use morels halved)
Grout morel
20 g dried morels (re-hydrated the day before and washed 4 times) 1 shallot
1 ladle of chicken stock 30 g
Noilly Prat white ( you can simply use white wine for a simpler version)
100 g cream 10 g butter
Abstract recipe
For the cream of pea
Boil water.
In the blender bowl, put the frozen peas. (And yes, without cooking them, put them directly)
Add 300 g (30 cl) of boiling salted water.
Tip: You can add a pinch of sugar. (I've added bcp and the taste is better than the version without sugar)
Mixer 3 minutes, spend a chinois. (It makes the soup very smooth and it gives a nice texture)
Adjust seasoning. Refresh cream by dipping the container in a bowl of ice water to keep the beautiful green color. (Instead of putting it in ice water, I simply put in the fridge)
To Island Floating
½ Soften gelatin in cool water and then melt in truffle juice. (Should be warm truffle juice beforehand)
Whip the cream as a Chantilly, introduce the truffle juice with gelatin.
(do not mix whipped cream with truffle juice still hot, cool the mixture of juice and gélantine truffles before adding it. it prevents the Chantilly tomb)
Season with salt and pepper. And refrigerate.
Tip: You can add a tablespoon of truffle oil to flavor more.
For grout
Rehydrate morels in a bowl of cold water overnight (I left 2-3 hours) and wash four times after being cut in half.
Tip: For softer morels, after re-hydrated, cook 5 minutes in a chicken stock powder before starting the recipe.
Chop morels with a knife.
Sauté shallot in butter. (It takes Shallot not change color)
Add the morels, sauté two minutes.
Add a ladle of chicken stock. Reduce and add
Noily Prat, back to the boil then add cream and salt.
Mix mushrooms and sauce to obtain a slurry.
In a bowl, pour the cream of pea. Make dumplings
foam using two spoons to get the floating islands. Gently
a floating island in the center of each plate. Add the warm mushroom sauce around.
To serve, each guest pours hot sauce of mushrooms on his floating island.
