Steps for Clément Briand-Seurat 's beet & goat's cheese rolls
- Beet rolls: peel the beets (keep the trimmings), using a melon baller, make 40 balls. Set aside.
- Cut the beets into thin slices using a mandolin. Season to taste. Roll the beet slices into 8 tight rolls (please confirm). Prick with a toothpick.
- Juice the trimmings in a centrifuge. Strain, then infuse tarragon for 7 min. Strain.
- Simmer the rolls in the infused juice. Drain (save the juice), then roast in beurre noisette.
- Cacio and pepe sauce: roast the pepper. Deglaze with cream and bring to the boil. Add the grated goat's cheese. Season, then set aside.
- Beet juice: Recover the beet juice from the rolls. Reduce, then whisk with butter and sherry vinegar. Season, then set aside.
- Tarragon oil: blend ingredients together for 5 min, then transfer to a saucepan. Bring to the boil quickly to evaporate the tarragon water. Strain through a cheesecloth, then cool over ice.
- Beet confit and pickles: pick 24 beet marbles and heat in tarragon oil at around 90°C for 30 min.
- Place the remaining beets in a tin and pour over a hot mixture of 30 cl water, vinegar and sugar. Leave to cool.
- Goat's cheese siphon: heat the cream, add the goat's cheese and the gelatine (softened in water if in sheets, then wrung out). Blend, strain and place in a siphon.
- To serve: place a beet roll in the center of the plate, add the cacio and pepe sauce, beet juice, herbs and grated goat's cheese. In the bowl, place the siphon with the pickled beet, tarragon and tarragon oil. Serve with toasted bread.
