Jerusalem artichoke, white chocolate, orange, sweet chestnuts and Moretti Grand Cru by Eugenio Boer, chef at Enocratia in Milan, together with Davide Mingiardi
The fil rouge in this dish is a game: giving vivacity and daring with a dessert that has, as its protagonist, a tuber. My research is based on delicate and, at the same time, persistent flavours, in contraposition with one another but without distorting the nature of the initial raw materials. This is why this dessert finds in the hazelnut and rosemary crumble its round and aromatic tones, enhanced by the white chocolate mousse. The orange zest, on the other hand, is delicately softened by the softness of the sweet chestnuts. In this dish I decided to use Birra Moretti Grand Cru to underline the sober notes of the meaty pulp of the Jerusalem artichoke.
