Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
  • 4 oz softened butter
Work the softened butter with a wooden spoon, then a whisk, to a mayonnaise-like consistency.
  • 2 whole chilled egg whites
Add the chilled egg whites to the dry mix and stir until completely incorporated and smooth.
Add the butter, by thirds, and whisk until the batter is creamy without lumps.
Spreading batter through a stencil
Transfer the batter to a smaller container.
Set a four inch stencil on a baking mat on a baking tray and spread batter across it with an offset spatula to the thickness of the stencil.
Lift the stencil, scrape off the excess and repeat, spacing the rounds one and a half inches apart.
  • 2 tbsp black sesame seeds
Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the rounds.
Bake at 400 F for four to six minutes; he used four and a half.
Move the rippling discs to the open oven door to keep them hot and pliable, flip them, and roll each one around a four and a half inch cornet mold with the tip at seven o'clock, seam side down on the pan.
Bake the rolled cornets a further three to four minutes until gold and brown.
Stand the cornets upright and return them to the oven for a minute or so to even the colour.
Slide the cornets off the molds onto paper towel.
  • 4 oz sushi-grade salmon
Mince the salmon finely by hand; do not use a food processor, which damages the texture of the fish.
  • 1½ tsp chives
  • 1½ tsp shallots
  • ¾ tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ tsp lemon oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • white pepper
Mix the minced salmon with the chives, shallots, olive oil, lemon oil, salt and white pepper and taste.
Cover and refrigerate the tartare at least 30 minutes.
Seasoning the tartare
  • 1 tbsp sweet red onion
Rinse the minced red onion in a strainer under cold water for several seconds, then dry it on paper towel.
  • ½ cup creme fraiche
Whisk the creme fraiche 30 seconds to a minute to soft peaks.
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper
Fold in a tablespoon of the minced red onion, the kosher salt and ground pepper, and load it into a piping bag.
Stand the finished cornets in a dish of black sesame seeds to serve.
Pipe the onion creme fraiche into the top half inch of each cornet.
Spoon one and a half teaspoons of salmon tartare on top of the cream and mold it into a dome like a scoop of ice cream.
  • chive tips
Lay a chive tip against the tartare, standing upright, to garnish.
