- Red peppers: 400 g
- Rocoto chilli peppers: 65 g
- Lemon juice: 500 ml
- Syrup: 500 ml
- For the nikkei tiger’s milk:
- Rice vinegar: 50 ml
- Sugar: 20 g
- Ginger: 3 g
- Soy sauce: 5 ml
- Grapefruit juice: 50 ml
- Lemon juice: 15 ml
- Sesame oil: 3 ml
- For the ceviche:
- Cantaloupe melon: 100 g
- Watermelon with seeds removed: 100 g
- Cucumber: 50 g
- Yellow cherry tomatoes: 50 g
- For the crisp:
- Chia seeds: 60 g
- 1 tablespoon of water
Preparation:
Make a syrup with equal quantities of sugar and water, and heat until a thick consistency is obtained. Put aside. Wash the peppers and the chillis and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into small pieces and place in a food processor or thermomix with the rest of the ingredients until a smooth, even texture is obtained. Place in the freezer. Once the mixture has frozen, churn it. Repeat the step above (this prevents crystals forming and ensures a good texture). Place the mixture back in the freezer. Soak 4 tablespoons of chia seeds in water for a few hours. Spread over a tray covered with paper, and make circles with the hydrated chia. Place in a dehydrator or in the oven at 70ş until the chia is crispy (2 or 3 hours). Reduce the vinegar by half. Allow to cool. Add the rest of the ingredients and put aside. Cut the fruit and vegetables into 2 cm2 cubes, and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add the tiger’s milk and stir well. Serve on a soup dish with a sorbet quenelle, and finish with the chia crisp and flowers.
