Tip from Martin Fauster:
Due to the low temperature and the foil, the char remains very succulent and also cooks gently.

 

Preparation (c. 90 minutes):

First, peel all black salsify and place in milk until needed so that it retains its white colour.

To make the purée – chop 300 grams of the peeled black salsify into pieces and cook until soft in the water-milk mixture (200 ml milk, 100 ml water) with some salt (c. 15 minutes).

Whilst the black salsify is cooking, salt the char and place on an oiled baking tray, in a casserole dish or on a plate, cover with foil and then cook for c. 15 minutes at 70 °C in a preheated oven.

Chop 200 grams of the peeled black salsify, which is to be fried, into approximately 5 mm-thick slices. Heat the rapeseed oil in a pan and then fry the black salsify slices in the oil on a medium heat until golden brown. Season to taste with salt and orange zest. Place on kitchen roll.

To make the crisps, use a vegetable peeler to slice the remaining black salsify into thin strips. Heat the maize oil in a pan to 160°C and then fry the black salsify strips in the oil until crispy. This only takes c. 20 seconds. Afterwards, place the strips on kitchen roll and sprinkle with some salt.

 

To continue with the purée – after cooking drain the black salsify in a sieve and collect the water. Purée the black salsify finely in a mixer. Gradually add some of the water collected when draining the black salsify until the desired consistency is achieved. Season to taste with salt and brown butter.
