Carrot ketchup:

Step 2

Add all ingredients to vita prep and blend until starting to all thoroughly mix in and mixture starts to heat up. Add xanthan gum and blend until fully emulsified. Store the Ketchup in the fridge until ready for plating.

Step 3

Carrot puree:

Step 4

Peel carrots and place in a pan with cold water, Szechuan, sugar and salt. Cook until very soft. Remove from heat and place carrots in the vita prep while retaining the cooking liquor.

Step 6

Carrot foam:

Step 7

Pour juice into a tall and long container. Sprinkle the soy lecithin powder on top. Cover half of the container with plastic wrap (cling film) to prevent juice from splattering all over you and the working area. Blend the soy lecithin using an immersion blender. Store the carrot juice in the fridge until ready for plating.

Step 8

Remove the carrot juice from the fridge and create carrot air by blending the juice positioning an immersion blender sideways and slightly above the surface to introduce air and produce tiny bubbles. Let the carrot air rest for 1 minute before scooping it.

Step 9

Baby carrots:

Step 10

Step 19
