FOR THE ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

PREPARATION

Clean the prickly lettuce and roughly chop it. In a tall frying pan add the oil, a garlic clove (not peeled), two anchovies and the washed capers. Fry for 3 minutes, discard the garlic, add the prickly lettuce, increase the flame and toss quickly so no colour is lost. Add salt and pepper, blend immediately and add the half potato. Emulsify with vegetable stock and a touch of olive oil. Allow it to cool quickly. For the croutons, cut the bread into small rectangles (2x6x1cm) and toast with a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Open the anchovies, removing the head and interiors. Remove the spine, making sure the anchovy is intact with the tail. Wash them well with cold water and place them on kitchen towel, adding a little salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan add a touch of oil and cook only the inner part of the anchovies for a minute. Place 5 anchovies on each crouton. Make an olive tartare and cut the mozzarella into cubes. For the roasted cherry tomatoes: wash the tomatoes and place them on an oven tray. Add oil, sliced garlic, salt, pepper and basil. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and cook at temperature for 8 to 10 minutes.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Take your bowls and pour three tablespoons of escarole cream in each, place the crouton in the centre and decorate the dish with the cherry tomatoes, the mozzarella and tartare. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, the candied lemon zest, dry capers, marjoram and salt crystals.

For the crush, add the water and sugar to a small pan and bring to the boil. Leave it to cool in the fridge. Squeeze the grapefruits, filter and mix with the syrup. Place it in a container and set in the freezer. Grate the crush with a fork and leave it in the freezer until it is time to serve. Finely chop the cabbage, place it in a pan with the water and two pinches of salt, bring it to the boil and continue to cook it for 15 minutes. Remove the cabbage from the water and put them both in the fridge. Clean all the molluscs. Place the seafood in water and salt. In a pan, open the seafood in order of size: first put in the Venus clams, after a minute add the mussels, then add the razor clams and white clams. Add a ladle of water and place a lid on the pan and cook until they are all open. Shell the seafood and place them in the fridge. In a casserole dish, bring lightly salted water to the boil. Submerge the octopus and cook for 45 minutes. Take it off the heat and leave it in its water for another 15 minutes. In another casserole dish with lightly salted boiling water, cook the cuttlefish for 4 minutes, the squid for 3 minutes, the eledones for 2 minutes and the shelled prawns and langoustines for 2 minutes. Once cooked, cut the squid, cuttlefish and octopus. Mix them together and add salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to the cabbage water and add extra virgin olive oil and salt to the previously boiled cabbage. For the parsley sauce: Blanch the parsley in lightly salted water, drain it and cool it down in iced water, then dry it. Cut the garlic clove in half, remove the core and sauté it in oil. Remove the garlic, add the parsley, salt and pepper and cook for two minutes. Remove from the heat and add contents with the potato and vegetable stock to a blender. Sift and leave to cool. It can also be frozen in small containers or vacuum pack bags.

Take a bowl and add the cabbage water. Add the cabbage and the seafood salad. Dress with a little parsley sauce and beetroot mayonnaise. At the end add the grapefruit crush, which upon contact with the cabbage water will modify its pH and will make its colour change to fuchsia.

HALF PACCHERI WITH CARROT CREAM, BOTARGO, CLAMS, TRUFFLES

Recipes
INGREDIENTS

Half Verrigni paccheri 350g

Fish stock, 1 ladle



FOR THE CARROT CREAM



Carrots 5

Small onion 1

Botargo 40g

Extra virgin olive oil 20ml

Salt 5g



FOR THE BOTARGO



Fresh sea bass or turbot botargo 1







Dry rub 1000g



FOR THE SAUCE



Clams 500g

Venus clams 500g

Extra virgin olive oil 50ml

Garlic, 2 cloves

Parsley, to taste

Pepper, to taste

PREPARATION

The botargo will take a week. Put the botargo in a pierced tray to collect the juices. Cover with about 300g of dry rub and cover it all with cling film and place it in the fridge for two days. Once that time has passed, eliminate the dry rub and add 300g more, repeating this step after two more days. After six days, rinse well, leave it to dry and place it in a warm part of the house for a day, so that it dries out well. Once dry, keep it in the fridge and grate the amount you want before consumption. Clean the carrots and onion and cut them into large pieces. Place them in a casserole dish with salt and cover them with water. Place a lid on the pan and cook for 30 minutes, drain (keeping the water) and put them in the blender, adding some ladles of the water to make the cream quite fluid. Finish the blending by adding some extra virgin olive oil. Keep it warm. Start making a sauté with one part of extra virgin olive oil and the two cloves of garlic in a pan. Remove the garlic and first add the Venus clams and after 4 minutes add the regular clams, covering with a lid. Once the shells are open, pour in the fish stock and turn the heat off. Shell the seafood and keep cool. Boil the pasta in lightly salted water, drain once it is “al dente” and continue to cook it in the sauce. Once the cooking is complete, add the remaining extra virgin olive oil, the seafood and some finely chopped parsley.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Serve it all in bowls with the carrot cream and grated botargo.
