Recipe Vegetable Crisps with Coffee and Black Garlic Froth.
How about a super healthy snack, suitable for celiacs, to enjoy the European Championship?
Here we make a proposal which I am sure you hooked! ;)
Method
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them up finely, or alternatively, crush them to create a black garlic paste (it's up to you).
Put the black garlic in a bowl and add the 50 cl of cold coffee. Stir well and keep on adding cream (don't stop stirring the mixture).
Put the mixture into the syphon, close it and put on one or two loads. Leave it for two hours in the fridge.
Meanwhile, fillet the eggplant as thinly as possible, preserving the skin, and pass it through the corn starch, sprinkling any excess. Then fry it in hot, but not steaming oil (160 °C).
Leave it in the oil until it is crunchy and beginning to develop colour around its edges. Take it out of the oil, place it on absorbent paper and put it aside.Repeat the process with the cooked, peeled beetroot and also with the peeled yucca.
Prepare the coffee and black garlic froth: Take the cold syphon out of the fridge and place it face-down on a pudding dish or bowl, slightly tightening the lever of the nozzle to fill the container (to suit your taste).
FINISHING THE DISH:
Place a base of baking paper in a receptacle of your choice and place your vegetable chips inside, season them to your taste and serve them with a glass of cocktail with the coffee and black garlic froth.
Miguel Ángel Mateos - CHEF'S TIPS:
- Yucca and aubergine crisps are very easy to make, but beetroot ones must be cut really thin, otherwise
they won't end up crunchy, but they are very good.
- You can make carrot crisps in the same way. They are also exquisite.
- You can use cornflour instead of wheat flour to make them crunchier, and also make them suitable for
those with a gluten intolerance.
- It is important not to burn them and to keep them crunchy; a strong but not excessive heat is needed. You
should aim to fry and dehydrate them, without burning them.
- It is an ideal snack to enjoy with family or with friends, whilst watching a good film or a good football match.
