Celery gel
Ingredients
The celery base
- 250 g celery
- 25 g spinach
- 0.25 lime
The celery gel
- 130 g celery base
- 65 g white wine vinegar
- 65 g sugar
- 3 g salt
- 3.5 g agar powder
- 20 g galangal
- 0.5 lemongrass
- 1 lime leaf
Instructions
The celery base
- First juice the celery in a juice centrifuge. I use a slow juicer to keep the optimal flavor & color. To make the juice a touch greener I also juiced the spinach and added it to the celery juice. It may not seem like a lot of juice, but for the color it really makes a difference.
- Then also add the juice from half a lime. This will prevent the juice from turning brown. Mix the celery base well.
The celery gel
- Weigh the celery base and also add the white wine vinegar, the sugar, the salt and the agar powder.
- Then cut the galangal in thin slices and do the same with the lemongrass. Add both to the pan with the lime leaf and then while stirring bring this to a boil on a high heat.
- Once it has properly boiled directly pour it into a bowl and cool it down as fast as possible to prevent the color from chancing.
- After that transfer it into a blender and blend it till smooth.
- To make the gel nice and clear I vacuumed it 100% to remove all the small air bubbles that formed while blending. This will also intensify the color.Â
