100 g of celeriac
50 g of red cabbage
100 g of pumpkin
50 g of leeks
50 g of green celery
10 g of rosemary
5 g of grated orange zest
20 g of chestnut honey
2 g of agar
80 g of butter
10 g of ground rice
4 Savoy cabbage leaves
100 g of sugar
100 g of yoghurt
10 g of chives

Separate the stems of the chard from the leaves and cut both parts into cubes, cook the leaves for 2 minutes in boiling salted water and them cook the stems in the same water for 6 minutes. Mix them together and dress with toasted sesame oil. Divide between four 8 cm diameter moulds, make round wafers and then freeze them. Mix the flour with 50 g of water, dip the wafers and coat them in breadcrumbs. Freeze them again, then fry in oil at 180 °C for 5 minutes.

Cut the vegetables into cubes, sweat them in a pan without oil and with a pinch of salt, until cooked. Blend and sieve them, dressing them with the finely chopped rosemary, butter and orange zest. Bring the agar to the boil with 200 g of water, stirring all the time. When it has dissolved, reduce, allowing the water to evaporate to 100 g, filter through a fine sieve and pour into the vegetable mixture. Pour into a mould and leave to set in the fridge. Cut into 2 cm thick slices, coat in the ground rice and roast in a very hot, lightly greased pan for 2 minutes on each side.

Bring 100 g of water to the boil and add the sugar. Cook the savoy cabbage leaves for 6 minutes, lift out of the liquid and leave the cool. Grease four 10 cm diameter and 10 cm high aluminium domes with a little butter. Lay the cabbage leaves on top and dry in the oven at 70 °C for 2 hours.
