  • Boil 250ml vegetable stock with Gellan gum and add it into the puree with the butter.
  • Season and set it aside in the fridge to cool down.
  • When cooled and very hard, put the puree into the Thermomix, until you get a smooth paste,and then pass it through a fine sieve.
Pine Needle Gel Method
  • Brew the pine needles with water, like a tea and let it infuse for 5-10 minutes.
  • Pass and reheat the pine needle tea to 85°C, add the Gellan gum and salt (to taste), and let it cool down.
  • After it is cold and hard put the jelly into the Thermomix and mix on high speed for 2 minutes, pass through sieve and fill into a squeeze bottle.
