Recipe by Stefano Baiocco: Avocado Cannelloni

For the avocado

  • 1 ripe avocado, avocado oil

Procedure

Remove the outer skin from the avocado. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the fruit into thin slices (use only the green outer part). Place them on a sheet of baking paper and brush them gently with avocado oil

 

For the goat's cheese cream

  • 1 Toma della Valle Belbo cheese, approx. 250 g
  • 50 ml goat's milk

Procedure

Pass the cheese through a sieve and whip lightly with a whisk, trying to aerate the cream. Add goat's milk if necessary. Place the cream in a piping bag.

 

For the tomato gazpacho

  • 800 g datterini tomatoes
  • 80 g red peppers
  • 60 g green celery stalks
  • 60 g red onion
  • 60 g cucumbers
  • 1 bunch basil
  • 100 g ice
  • 16 g ginger
  • 15 ml Casaliva monocultivar extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 g xanthan gum
  • 18 g Maldon salt
  • 6 g ground white pepper

Procedure

Marinate all the ingredients (except the xanthan gum) cut into small cubes for 12 hours. Pass them through a vegetable mill and then through a fine sieve. At this point, add the xanthan gum and mix it into the soup with a whisk, very gently without incorporating air and without leaving any lumps.

 

For the macadamia nuts

Lightly toast the nuts and grate them with a microplane.

 

For the coriander oil

  • 250 ml sunflower oil
  • 70 g fresh coriander leaves
  • 30 g parsley leaves
  • 10 g toasted coriander seeds

Procedure

Blanch the herbs for 5 seconds in water and plunge them into ice. Blend the oil with the herbs and seeds in a Thermomix for 10 minutes at 50°C. Strain and cool.

 

Herbs

  • Lobelia flowers (Lobelia erinus)
  • Marigold flowers (Tagetes patula)

Dish composition

Fill the avocado slices with the goat cream and, with the help of paper, roll them up to form a cannelloni. Leave in the refrigerator.

Place the gazpacho in the center of a bowl, then finish with the coriander oil, flowers, and Macadamia nuts.
