Preparation

  1. Mix the Daikon Cress, vegetable stock, herbs, and Agar-Agar together.
  2. Place on the bottom of the plates, so the Zallotti flowers can rest on top later.

  1. Cut some small florets from the broccoli and cauliflower and keep the stems separate for the crunchy vegetable salad.
  2. Cut the halloumi cheese into cubes and blend in a food processor with the broccoli and cauliflower florets, olive oil, Borage Cress, and the juice of 2 lemons.
  3. Season to taste.

  1. Emulsify the olive oil with the lemon juice and herbs and set aside.
  2. Finely chop all the vegetables (except cucumber) and keep them in ice-cold water.
  3. Just before serving, drain and dry them, then mix the chopped vegetables with the dressing.
  4. Season well and place on the Borage pesto.
  5. Add Scarlet Cress, Kikuna Leaves, and Gangnam Tops.
