Beetroot Tartare & Truffle Cured Egg

Ingredients

    • 4 small cooked beetroot, finely diced
    • 1 tsp Black Truffle Mustard
    • 1 tsp cornichons, finely sliced
    • 1 tsp capers
    • 1 tsp shallot, finely diced
    • 1 tbsp chopped dill
    • 1 tsp orange zest
    • 2 quail eggs
    • 1 tbsp Flaked Black Truffle Sea salt
    • 2 sourdough crackers

Method

  1. Start by separating the yolk and whites from your eggs. Place the yolks carefully on a layer of truffle sea salt on a tray lined with baking parchment. Leave to cure for 30-40 minutes. Turn the yolks over and cure for a further 20 mins to make them firm enough to handle but still soft in the middle.
  2. Once you have finely diced all your tartare ingredients, mix well in a bowl. Taste the mixture and season to taste.
  3. On a plate position a cracker on the base and using a forming ring carefully spoon in your beet tartare mixture. Top with some sprigs of dill and your cured egg yolk served back in a clean eggshell.
  4. Before eating, pour the egg onto the tartare dish as a salty truffled yolk dressing.
