Sea Urchins Stuffed with Potato Salad

Ingredientes

(Serves 4)

12 Sea Urchins
400g boiled potatoes
100g mange-tout
1 bunch fennel top
3 egg yolks
half a lemon
400ml extra virgin olive oil
fleur de sel
ground white pepper

Preparação

Open the sea urchins by slicing a lid and leaving the urchin’s shell intact, so it can be stuffed with the potato salad. Spoon out the coral and reserve.

In a bowl, mix the egg yolks, salt, white pepper and lemon juice. Beating constantly, add the olive oil in a thin stream to emulsify the mixture. Add two tablespoons of tepid water towards the end.

Roughly chop the potato and mange-tout into chunks, dress with the mayonnaise and chopped fennel top.

Mix the reserved coral into the potato mayonnaise and stuff inside the sea urchins.
