Verjuice and avocado jellies
Not-so-secret fact: Maggie Beer loves verjuice. This verjuice jelly combines the best of summer produce with a time-tested preserving technique.
Ingredients (6)
- 1 1/2 cups (375ml) verjuice
- 1 tbs caster sugar
- 1 bunch chervil
- 2 1/2 titanium-strength gelatine leaves
- 1 1/2 large avocados, cut into 2cm pieces, drizzled with lemon juice or verjuice
- Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Don't forget you can add these ingredients to your Woolworths shopping list.
CloseMethod
-
1.Place the verjuice and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat immediately. Transfer to a bowl, add half the chervil and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Warm through over low heat, then strain and return liquid to pan.
-
2.Meanwhile, soak gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes to soften. Squeeze to remove excess liquid, then add leaves to the warm verjuice mixture and stir until the gelatine has dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.
-
3.Pick 2 tbs leaves from remaining chervil and divide among six 100ml dariole moulds (or a 600ml glass bowl). Divide avocado among moulds, then add verjuice mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set (4 hours for a large bowl).
-
4.To turn jellies out, stand moulds in hot water for 25 seconds to loosen, then invert onto small plates (or 1 large plate for a large jelly). Sprinkle with sea salt, drizzle with oil and serve garnished with remaining chervil sprigs.
