A dish made to test your skills: a fancy first course which is definitely healthy. The final touch is, as always, the caviar, resting gently on top of the “cone” of spaghetti.

INGREDIENTS:

320 g of spaghetti
Parsley,fresh coriander, ginger
Extra virgin olive oil
Soy sauce
Octopus ink
Fresh tomatos
100 g of caviar

Sauce: slice a piece of ginger the size of a walnut and boil in a little water with vinegar and sugar, two sprigs of parsley and fresh coriander. Boil for 1 minute and thicken with a little corn starch and extra virgin olive oil, add soy sauce and put on one side. Sieve the sauce and pour onto the cooked spaghetti. Dried salted cod: remove the skin and surface salt, cut into 80 g pieces and steam in a vacuum bag at 50° for 12 minutes. Cool and open the vacuum bag. Flake the fish and add to the spaghetti and sauce. Serve the spaghetti luke-warm and decorate the plate with octopus ink, drops of fresh liquidised tomato with a dressing of your choice, and a spoonful of caviar.

Purple and black, a fashionable dish, a delicious offering. A nice plate will enhance this recipe that deserves precise timing when serving, especially when it comes to the risotto, cooked preferably a little “al dente”.

INGREDIENTS:

200 g rice
300 g cooked and liquidised beetroot
600 g meat broth
6 scallops
125 g fat-free yoghurt
50 g sour cream
salt, pepper
100 g of caviar

Mix together and place in a cream dispenser. To make the risotto toast the rice without vegetables or oil, add white wine and when it has evaporated add the beetroot juice and meat broth alternately. Salt to taste. In the meantime mix yoghurt and cream, add salt and pepper. Cook the whole scallops in a very hot frying pan with a spoonful of oil. Calculate around one scallop per person. Slice two raw scallops to place on top of the risotto. When the risotto is ready (use Carnaroli rice cooked for around 14 minutes from when the broth is added), stir in extra virgin olive oil and spread onto a plate. Make a spiral pattern with the yoghurt sauce. On top of the risotto place the sliced raw scallops, the cooked one cut into four and small heaps of caviar.
