Step-by-step Guide

Make the brandade

  1. Gently cook the garlic over a low heat in a pan with a little oil (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add the shredded cod and stir 30 seconds, turning it.
  3. Set the oil and the cod aside separately.
  4. Put the cod in the beaker and add the oil very slowly until homogeneous.
  5. Gradually beat in the cream until it emulsifies like mayonnaise.
  6. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Zucchini wrap

  1. Bring salted water to the boil.
  2. Wash the zucchini, leave the skin on, and slice it thinly on a mandoline.
  3. Blanch the slices 10 seconds, then plunge into iced salted water.
  4. Drain on kitchen paper.
  5. Oil a sheet of baking paper. Overlap slices to about 8 cm long.
  6. Pipe a line of brandade near one edge and roll into a cannelloni. Repeat.
  7. Cook the finely sliced spring onion 1 minute in hot oil, add honey and vinegar for a few seconds, and set aside.
  8. Peel and dice the apple very small.
  9. Plate the cannelloni with the onion, apple, microgreens or flowers and a drizzle of oil.
