Sustainability tips to make your ingredients go further
• Reserve the beef fat trimmings, these can be rendered down to make the ‘Chewy caramel’.
• Reserved spring onion greens from the ‘Chicken ballotine with corn, watercress stuffing and almond cream’ can also be dried with the onions above. Dehydrated spring onions are delicious to garnish many dishes.
• The spring onion greens can be dehydrated with the orange and ginger from the ‘Pickled carrot salad with togarashi’.
Alternative appliance function
• The spring onions can be dried quicker using a combi steam on Combi mode at 50°C + 0% humidity + 3 hours. They also can be dried in a warming drawer overnight.
• If your slices are too thick, they can be flattened before serving.
