Steps for Antoine Huguenin 'sfermented beans

  1. Fermented beans: Scald a glass jar with the seal for 10 min. Place the jar on the scale and tare. Place the stalked and washed beans in the jar, squeezing them slightly, and pour in water to the top, noting the weight. Add 3% of this weight in salt to a bowl. Transfer the water from the jar to the bowl so that the salt dissolves completely. Pour the brine into the jar and seal tightly. Set aside for 15 days at room temperature.
  2. Hemp cookie: Blend whole hemp seeds to a powder, then mix all ingredients in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a buttered tin to a thickness of 1 cm. Bake at 170°C for 15 min.
  3. Cottage cheese ice cream: Mix all ingredients in an ice-cream maker. If you don't have an ice-cream maker, place the ingredients in a tray in the freezer and whisk every 15 minutes.
  4. Presentation: Place a piece of cookie at the bottom of the plate, and arrange the finely-cut fermented beans. Decorate with flowers and place a quenelle of ice cream alongside.
