Celery tartelettes
Servings 30 tartelettes
Ingredients
Celery base
- 500 g celery
- 50 g spinach
- 0.5 lime
Celery tartelettes
- 1 small celeriac
- 350 g celery base
- 60 g isomalt sugar
- 10 g lime juice
- 15 g egg white
- 10 g glucose
- 2 g salt
- Parsley or spinach leaves
Instructions
Celery base
- First juice the celery in a juice centrifuge. I use a slow juicer to keep the optimal flavor & color. To make the juice a touch greener I also juiced the spinach and added it to the celery juice.
- It may not seem like a lot of juice, but for the color it really makes a difference. Then also add the juice from half a lime. This will prevent the juice from turning brown. Mix the celery base well.
Celery tartelettes
- First cut the celeriac in half and clean it. Then cut it in even small cubes. In total you need 150 grams of cubes.
- Now transfer them into a pan and also add the celery base. Bring this to a boil and reduce it till the total weight is 200 grams.
- Then transfer it into a measuring cub or a blender. Add the isomalt sugar, the lime juice, the egg white, the glucose and the salt. Now blend this till smooth.
- Because it has been heated for so long the color has faded, to fix this I added a couple leaves of parsley, but spinach is also fine. Blend it till smooth to restore the color.
- Then spread it on a silicon sheet using a stencil. Click here for more info. Now remove the stencil and dry them at 95 °C for 2.5 hours.
- Once they are completely dry transfer them one by one on bottom of the tartelette mold and heat them up at the same temperature for a minute or three. Then use the top to press down the disc and shape the tartelettes.
- After that let them cool down completely and keep them dry and covered for later.
- Now a little trick, these tartelettes can turn soft quite fast once filled. Especially with a moist filling. To delay this process I cut some spinach leaves with the cutter from the mold and added a drizzle of oil. Now make sure everything is covered and place them between the tartelette mold. Let this dry at 95 °C as well for around 1 to 2 hours. This will be the bottom layer when plating the tartelette and it makes a real difference for the texture.
