Massimiliano Mascia's recipe: amberjack and gin and tonic.
For the yuzu gel
- 40 g water
- 10 g succu yuzu
- 2 g caster sugar
- 1 g agar agar powder
Procedure
Boil water with sugar until syrupy, add fruit juice, stir and remove from heat. Incorporate the seaweed powder, whisk and cool quickly in a blast chiller, or in water and ice, and then in the refrigerator. When the gelatin is cold, whisk until it is the consistency of a gel.
For the orange gel
- 50 g of orange juice
- 2 g granulated sugar
- 1 g agar agar powder
- ½ lime
Procedure
Dissolve the sugar in the orange juice, add the lime juice and, off the heat, the agar agar. Let cool quickly, then whisk the mixture.
For the amberjack
- 400 g amberjack
- 1 asparagus
- 1 yellow carrot
- 1 purple carrot
- 4 snow peas or green beans
- 2 radishes
- 1 red onion
- Salt
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Gin spray
Procedure
Clean the fish - to reach the indicated weight you will need a specimen of about 800 g - fillet it, remove the bones and cut the slice into very thin slices, suitable for the preparation of carpaccio. Marinate the amberjack lightly by steaming it with a little gin and a pinch of salt and let it rest for the time it takes to prepare the vegetables.
Clean the vegetables, peel them and cut them very thinly with a mandoline.
Dish composition
Compose the dish with the various portions alternating the ingredients, finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and adjust the salt.
