For the recipe for artichoke

Fill a container with 3 liters of water and squeeze a whole lemon inside (or 5 grams of ascorbic acid) so that the artichokes are clean without being oxidized. Remove the outer petals, cut off the tip, and clean the stem so that the outer, more fibrous layer is removed. Divide the artichoke in half and remove the central part, “the beard,” with the help of a teaspoon. Cook the artichoke in the broth prepared with the indicated ingredients.

For the Royale

Take the now-cooked chokes, divide the petals from the stems, and set aside. Blend 600 g of petals and the artichoke heart with a blender until creamy. Add 450 g egg whites and 100 g of grated Parmesan cheese. Steam inside a semi-sphere mold for 60 minutes at 90°.

For the black pepper jelly

Toast the black peppercorns, add 300 ml water and reduce the liquid by half. Add 3 grams of agar agar to the remaining liquid. Allow to cool and whisk the resulting mixture.

For the Pecorino cheese fondue

Bring the cream to a boil and then add the grated Pecorino Romano cheese.

For the composition of the dish

 

Brown the stem of the artichoke in a pan along with a knob of butter. Cut the semi-sphere in half and heat it in the oven. Top it with the Pecorino cheese fondue. Then create the mock artichoke by laying the half of the semi sphere next to the stem. Add the black pepper jelly, and top the flan with the fried artichoke petals. Finally, top sprout with fresh mint leaves.
