Preparation
- Peel and cut the root vegetables.
- Plange them “al dente” with salt water.
- Then stop the cooking process by placing them in a bowl of water with ice cubes.
- Boil the tucupi with the coconut milk, add the soya lecithin and the white truffle oil.
- Add further salt if necessary, and place the root vegetables on a tray in the oven with olive oil, roasting them to achieve a crispy texture on the outside.
- Assemble the dish with pieces of the root vegetables and, with a hand blender, make a foam of the tucupi/coconut milk mixture, and place it around the vegetables.
- To finish add sprouts and organic herbs.
