40g lemon juice
1/2 zest of half a lemon

Method

For the onion fondue, shred onions and sweat (covered) in butter and olive oil. Cook till melting. Strain and chill.

To make the sorbet, assemble the first seven ingredients for the sorbet to make a syrup. Boil, chill, and add the fromage blanc. Combine 30g of this base with 250g onion fondue. Put in a Pacojet container to freeze.

For the petits pois, boil the peas till tender and refresh thoroughly. Liquidize with an equal volume of mineral water and some ice cubes. Add seven gelatine leaves dissolved per litre of mixture. Reserve.

To assemble, for each portion pour pea water into a small bowl and add some cooked peas. Leave to set.

Pacojet a portion of sorbet and use a half scoop to place on the jelly. Top with 3g caviar.

Emulsify the reserved pea water with lecithin and coat one side of the jellied pea broth with it.
