Jordärtskocka med bönpuré, rågsmul & picklade senapsfrön

En enkel men lyxig förrätt med mängder av olika smaker och texturer. De ginpicklade senapsfröna, rågsmulet och örtoljan räcker till mer än de fyra portionerna - och går fint att spara och toppa något annat gott med kommande måltider!

Jordärtskocka med bönpuré, rågsmul & picklade senapsfrön

4 portioner

Ingredienser

300 gram jordärtskockor

1 tsk extra virgin olivolja

1 nypa flingsalt

Favabönspuré

1 dl torkade favabönor, eller 3 dl valfria kokta bönor

1 dl växtdryck, exempelvis havredryck

zest från 1/2 ekocitron + 2 msk färskpressad citronsaft

Flingsalt

Ginpicklade senapsfrön

4 msk senapsfrön, gärna mörka och ljusa blandat

1 dl gin, exempelvis Skagerrak Nordic Dry Gin

1/2 dl äppelcidervinäger

1 nypa flingsalt

Rågsmul

2 skivor rågbröd

1 nypa flingsalt

1 tsk torkad ramslök

1 tsk extra virgin olivolja

Örtolja

2 dl extra virgin olivolja

1 näve färska örter, exempelvis basilika och koriander

Till servering

Två nypor rädisskott / rödbetsskott / rödkålsskott, eller andra färgglada skott (jag använde rädisskott)

Färsk persilja, finhackad

Gör såhär

Örtolja: Mixa olja och örter tills helt slätt. För en än mer lyxig variant kan du sedan försiktigt värma upp oljan till 65°C, följt av att direkt kyla ner den i ett isbad (häll då den uppvärmda oljan i en skål och ställ ner skålen i isbadet utan att vatten nuddar oljan). Sila sedan av oljan genom en silduk.

Ginpicklade senapsfrön: Koka upp gin och vinäger, låt sjuda i 1 minut. Lägg senapsfröna i en glasburk, slå över den kokheta vätskan. Låt stå minst 2 timmar.

Rågsmul: Värm ugnen till 175°C. Mixa rågbrödet till ett smil i en matberedare, blanda med ramslök, olja och en nypa salt. Bred ut på en ugnsplåt. Rosta i mitten av ugnen i ca 10 minuter, tills torrt och krispigt. Låt svalna.

Jordärtskockor: Värm ugnen till 200°C. Skrubba jordärtskockorna väl. Dela dem på mitten, på längden. Lägg i en ugnsform, ringla över lite olja och skaka runt. Rosta i mitten av ugnen i 20 minuter, tills de är mjuka rakt igenom och skalet är lätt krispigt.

Favabönspuré: Koka favabönorna i rikligt med vatten i 30 minuter, häll av och låt svalna något. Mixa tillsammans med växtdryck, lite i taget tills du får en len kräm, och citron tills slätt. Tillsätt eventuellt lite mer vätska om den känns för fast. Smaka av med salt.

Lägg en klick favabönspuré på en tallrik, svep ut med en sked för snyggt mönster. Placera ut jordärtskockor ovanpå. Toppa varje jordärtskocka med några ginmarinerade senapsfrön. Strö över rågsmul och ringla över örtolja. Garnera med skotten och färsk persilja.

Cauliflower and chanterelle burger with fava bean spread, sauerkraut and shaved carrots

For a really tasty and juicy plant burger filled with flavours I like to bake all (well, most of them) the ingredients in the oven before mixing together my patty as that adds quite a lot of extra flavour! When they’re baked and all soft and sweet I mix it all together with some quinoa for extra protein, walnuts for some crunch and lots of herbs, then form in to patties and then oven bake, fry or grill them!

Serve between whatever bread you prefer, or maybe some crispy lettuce leaves, and make sure to add a few yummy toppings - like this fava bean spread with lots of herbs for creaminess, sauerkraut for extra juiciness and that lovely sour-in-a-great-way-flavour and raw carrots for some extra crisp!

200 grams fresh chanterelles, or 150 grams frozen or 20 grams dried

1 dl / 0.4 cups white quinoa

2 handfulls of fresh parsley, or 2 Tbsp frozen fresh

10 fresh tarragon leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried

1 dl / 0.4 cups rolled oats

1 dl / 0.4 cups walnuts, chopped

1 tsp rapeseed oil

1/2 tsp salt

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Fava bean spread

150 grams fava beans, dried (OR use 1 package / 230 grams cooked chickpeas)

2 handfulls of fresh parsley, or 2 Tbsp frozen fresh

1 Tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

1 small garlic clove, finely grated

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crispy carrots

3 carrots

1 tsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

pinch of flakey salt

For serving

sauerkraut (Can be bought in most supermarkets)

cress

Unsweetened rye bread, or any bread you like

leafy greens

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Cut the cauliflower in smaller florets. Brush the mushrooms, fry in a pan (if using frozen ones just thaw them, if using dried soak them). Peel chop the onion and garlic. Put cauliflower, mushrooms, onion and garlic on a oven tray and bake for 30 minutes. Cook the quinoa according to instructions on the packaging.

Mix the roasted veggies, quinoa and herbs until a crumbly batter in a food processor. Add oats and walnuts and mix well using a wooden spoon. Let sit for 15 minutes. Form in to 8 patties. Put on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until slightly goden and crisp around the edges. If you want some extra crisp you can finish by frying them in a bit of oil in a pan.

Cook the fava beans for 30 minutes, until soft. Remove any excess water. Mix with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor until a creamy spread. Add a bit of water for a creamier spread. Salt and pepper to taste.

Shave the carrots thinly using a potato peeler or mandolin. Toss together with a tiny drizzle of oil and pinch of salt.

Spread some fava bean spread on a slice of rye bread. Top with some leafy greens, a patty, sauerkraut, oil tossed carrots and cress. Add some extra fava bean spread on top and finish with another slice of rye bread.
