Ingredients
(For the fake tartar)
400g of watermelon
30g of vodka
60g red fruit puree
20g of lemon juice
(For the passion fruit mango yolk)
100g of mango
50 g of passion fruit
120g of syrup
1g of xanthan gum (optional)
200g of water
50 of syrup
16g of neutral gelatin powder
Elaboration
(For the fake tartar)
-We cut the watermelon into small, even cubes.
-Dissolve all the liquids in a bowl until they are well combined
-We combine the watermelon cubes with the liquid and place it in the vacuum machine. Once the vacuum is created, the liquid will penetrate the watermelon, giving it a dark red appearance.
(For the passion fruit mango yolk)
Add the mango and passion fruit to the syrup and blend well. If desired, you can thicken it with a little xanthan gum. Remove any air bubbles from the vacuum sealer, or let the liquid rest for 12 hours in the refrigerator.
-We place the liquid in semi-sphere silicone molds, freeze and set aside.
-We heat the remaining water and syrup with the vegetable gelatin powder. We bring it to a boil.
Once the liquid cools to 80°C, we can dip the frozen passion fruit spheres into it using a needle. As they thaw, the inside remains liquid while the outside gels, giving them the appearance of an egg yolk.
We assemble the dish as if it were a tartare, placing the watermelon cubes in a metal ring giving it a round shape and topping it with the passion fruit mango yolk.
