An epic food items journey in the Arctic Circle

Langoustine roll (serves 4)
By Chef Poul Andrias Ziska

Ingredients for langoustines:
12 medium-sized langoustines
200g salt brine (4g of salt dissolved in 200g h2o to make a brine with a 2% ratio)

Instructions:
Blanch the 12 langoustines for 10 seconds and awesome down in ice water.
Independent the tail from the head and peel off the tail from the shell.

  1. Help you save the heads, claws and shells for later on use.
  2. Store 6 of the langoustines in an airtight container protected with a moist fabric in the fridge.
  3. Spot the other six langoustines in the salt brine for 20 minutes, and then keep very same way.

Ingredients for burnt langoustine oil:
6 langoustine leftovers (heads, claws and shells)
900 g neutral-flavoured oil
Glowing scorching charcoal

Guidelines:

  1. Roast the heads, shells and claws from the initially six langoustines in the oven at 200C for 15 min.
  2. Transfer the roasted langoustine leftovers to a tiny (oven-proof) container and address them with 900g of oil.
  3. Address the container with a lid and prepare dinner in the oven at 60C for 12 hours.
  4. Strain the oil into a pot and put in a glowing piece of charcoal and cover with a lid – be very cautious: there could be a ton of smoke!
  5. Depart the charcoal to infuse for five minutes, then pressure by means of a fantastic sieve and store the burnt langoustine oil in the fridge.

Ingredients for langoustine emulsion:
6 langoustine leftovers (head, claws and shells from the other 6 langoustines)
3l h2o
30g burnt langoustine oil (from recipe above)

Guidelines:

  1. Toss the heads, shells and claws in a minimal oil and roast in the oven for 20 minutes at 250C.
  2. Add 1l of h2o to the tray of langoustine leftovers and bake for another five minutes to deglaze the tray.
  3. Transfer the roasted langoustine leftovers to a mixer with a flat beater attachment and run for two minutes to crack the heads, shells and claws into small parts.
  4. Then transfer to a pot with the remaining 2l of drinking water and simmer for 2 hours.
  5. Strain the stock into a new pot and cut down down to a thick, caramel-like texture (about 40g) and leave to neat down.
  6. Bit by bit emulsify the burnt langoustine oil into the decreased langoustine bisque. Gradually combine the burnt langoustine oil into the lessened langoustine bisque although whisking vigorously.
  7. Transfer to a piping bag and retail outlet in the fridge until use.

Elements for crispy rolls: (approx 18 rolls)
200g leeks
200g potato
250g milk
20g burnt langoustine oil
60g isomalt
2g salt
2.5g potato starch
Dried dulse powder

Directions:

  1. Slash the potatoes and leeks into small cubes and transfer to a pot address with drinking water and simmer for 30 minutes right until fully soft.
  2. Strain and transfer the cooked potatoes and leeks to a Thermomix alongside one another with the rest of the elements (except for the dulse powder) and spin at 80C for 5 minutes at medium speed.
  3. Distribute the resulting dough onto a silicone mat at 1mm thickness.
  4. Dry the dough in the oven at 90C with no fan for approximately 30 minutes right until the dough has a leathery texture.
  5. Go away the dried dough to amazing for 5 minutes, then carefully eliminate it from the silicon mat.
  6. Sprinkle both equally sides with the dried dulse powder and then reduce into 7cm x 7cm squares.
  7. Bake 5 squares at a time 130C with no fan until golden brown (somewhere around 10 minutes).
  8. Quickly wrap the baked squares close to a 22mm-diameter metallic cylinder and depart to amazing.
  9. Carefully get rid of the crispy roll from the steel cylinder and retail store in an airtight container with a Silicasec tablet (to stop moisture forming) in a cool dry location.

Assembling the dish:
Langoustines (from over)
Langoustine emulsion
Crispy rolls

Recommendations:

  3. Period with the liquid koji, lemon juice and salt.
