Ingredients
- 400 g dark chocolate (53% couverture)
- 350 g water
- 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 orange, zested
- 50 g coriander seeds
- 30 g black peppercorns
- 40 g cardamom seeds
- 1 cinnamon quill
- 1 star anise
- 15 g sugar
- 6 g sea salt
Instructions
- For the ganache, place the chocolate in a stainless-steel bowl. Bring water to the boil, then pour directly onto chocolate and stir until chocolate melts and emulsifies. Cool to 35˚C then whisk in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until the temperature drops to 25˚C. Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours.
- For the orange oil, combine the olive oil with the orange zest in a stainless-steel bowl and set aside. Allow to infuse for 1-2 days before using.
- For the spice mix, roast the spices on a baking tray in oven at 170˚C for 8 minutes. Grind spices in a coffee grinder. Add the sugar and pass through a fine sieve.
- To serve, place a scoop of ganache into a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of orange oil. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and the spice mix.
