An iPhone made of tartare: neat on the outside, with a sharp, raw twist inside.
Raw beef tartare shaped like an iPhone, with a thin avocado 'screen' and a sharp mustard seed 'wire'. Outwardly neat, but with a spicy core: the scandal is just below the surface. The silhouette is unmistakably a smartphone.
Ingredients
- 400 g beef tartare
- 2 avocados
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp coarse mustard
- 1 tbsp mustard seeds
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 lemon
- 8 small gherkins
- 4 slices dark rye bread
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash with a little lemon juice until smooth.
- Mix the tartare with finely chopped red onion, capers, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the crusts off the rye bread and slice the bread into rectangles about 6x12 cm, like a smartphone shape.
- Spread a thin layer of avocado over the bread as a 'screen'.
- Shape the tartare into a 5x11 cm rectangle and place it centrally on the avocado layer.
- Mix the mayonnaise with a bit of lemon juice and put it in a piping bag. Draw a thin diagonal line across the 'screen' with mustard seeds as a wiretap line.
- Slice the gherkins thinly and place them at the bottom of the 'screen' as a home button and speaker.
- Serve one iPhone tartare per person on a plate.
Serving notes
- Serve with extra gherkins and a small bowl of coarse mustard on the side.
- Optionally garnish with some cress for a green 'notification'.
- Give each guest a spoon to scoop the dish, as if scrolling through data.
