Ingredients
 
 

SEA URCHINS

  • 12 sea urchins

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons Modena vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 100 grams butter

AROMATICS

  • 50 grams Greek yogurt
  • 1 bunch fresh chervil
  • chive points
  • 1/2 bulb small fennel
  • 1 stalk celery and leaves
  • 1/4 granny smith apple
  • sorrel leaves
  • 20 milliliters sea urchin water
  • 2 tablespoons arbequina olive oil

Instructions
 

Sea Urchins

  • Open the sea urchins with a scissors with a round cut at the top or mouth end (use gloves to protect your hands).
  • Then remove the roe with a spoon very carefully so they don´t break.
  • Save the water of the urchins to clean the roe later. If we clean them with their own water, they won´t lose flavor.
  • Save the shells for the final presentation.

Aromatics

  • Carefully clean all the aromatic herbs.
  • Peel the stalks of celery and cut into a fine julienne.
  • Do the same with the apple and the fennel.
  • Mix the yogurt with the sea urchins water, a spoon of Arbequina olive oil and salt flakes.

Serving Suggestions

  • You can place the sea urchins in a long platter preferably three urchins per plate.
  • Fill every washed sea urchin shell with about 4 roes, carefully placing and covering them with two spoons of hollandaise sauce lengthwise.
  • Give them two minutes under the oven grill in order for them to temper.
  • Now add a soup spoon of yogurt and place the mixed aromatic herbs on top.
  • Finish the dish with drops of olive oil and a pinch of salt over the aromatics.
