Burrata

Broccoli, barley miso, marcona almond, fried garlic and sunchoke, pickled chili 

For Broccoli

We blanch broccoli in heavily salted Kombu stock. This should be the same salinity as ocean water. Bring 2 gallons of salted water to a rolling boil with one sheet of kombu. Cut the heat and let steep like tea for 5 minutes. Remove the kombu. Bring the liquid back to a boil and cook the broccoli for 45 seconds. Shock in ice water. Broccoli is then pan roasted in a very hot pan, and finished with lemon juice. 

Barley miso

8oz high quality barley miso

4oz low sodium kombu dashi

.5oz fermented honey

Fried garlic

Slice garlic thin and blanch in simmering milk 3 times, shocking each time in ice water. Fry in vegetable oil at 300 degrees until bubbles subside. Season with kosher salt

Fried sunchokes

Slice sunchokes thin, 1/8”. Rinse in cold running water until water runs clear. Pat dry and fry at 300 degrees until bubbles subside and a light golden color is obtained. Season with kosher salt.

Pickled fresno gel

8oz fresno chili, seeds and stems removed

8oz champagne vinegar

8oz water

4oz granulated sugar

1g xanthan gum 

Bring all ingredients, except xanthan gum to a boil. Take off heat and cover. Let stand ten minutes. Remove peppers from liquid, and blend at high speed with xanthan gum. Season with salt to taste. 

To plate. Arrange a nice balance of purees on plate. Season burrata with sea salt, pepper and lemon oil. Garnish with crisps.
