Chablis\u2019 Lovers\u2019 Brunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients: <\/em><\/p>\n

Toasted multi-grain bread<\/p>\n

Basil-Marinated Salmon<\/strong>
\nSalmon fillet (400g)
\nCooking salt (100g)
\nSugar (100g)
\nHandful of fresh basil
\nFreshly ground pepper
\nOlive oil <\/p>\n

Morel Scrambled Eggs<\/strong>
\nMorel Mushrooms (handful)
\nTwo eggs
\nFreshly ground pepper
\nOlive oil<\/p>\n

Three Tomatoes Refresher<\/strong>
\nCherry tomatoes (100g)
\nYellow tomatoes (100g)
\nSundried tomatoes (100g)
\nBasil<\/p>\n

Method:<\/p>\n

Basil-Marinated Salmon<\/strong>
\n(The salmon can be marinated 24-48 hours in advance)<\/p>\n

Prepare the marinade by mixing together most of the sugar and cooking salt
\nShred a handful of the basil leaves and add to the mixture
\nWash the salmon fillet in tap water, and dry off, leaving the skin on
\nCrush a handful of basil leaves together with a touch of cooking salt and olive oil to make a basil pur\u00e9e
\nPlace a thin layer of the salt and sugar mix at the bottom of a dish and place the salmon onto it skin-side down
\nBaste the salmon with the basil pur\u00e9e and cover with the remaining salt and sugar mix
\nWrap in cling film and leave in the refrigerator for 12 to 18 hours depending on the size and thickness of the salmon
\nUncover the salmon — it should now be a deep orange colour
\nWash off the salt and puree under tap water
\nPour a bit of olive oil into a clean dish and place the salmon onto it skin-side down
\nGrind some pepper over the salmon and cover with a thin layer of olive oil.
\nRe-cover in cling film and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve
\nTo serve, cut salmon into bite-sized slices, and sprinkle with chopped basil<\/p>\n

Morel Scrambled Eggs<\/strong>
\n(Morels can be substituted for any type of mushroom according to preference)<\/p>\n

Thoroughly wash the Morel mushrooms before dicing
\nPan-fry mushrooms in olive oil on a high heat for 2 minutes, adding a dash of pepper
\nReducing the heat, crack an egg straight into the frying pan, and mix with the mushroom
\nCook according to how firm\/runny you prefer the scrambled eggs to be, adding cream \/ cheese according to taste<\/p>\n

Three Tomatoes Refresher
\n<\/strong>
\nThis is a dish based on freshness, acidity and sweetness association, so an ideal combination would be cherry, sundried, and yellow tomatoes.
\nThe cherry tomatoes will provide a fresh taste, while the sundried tomatoes will add a sweetness and more rounded flavour, with the yellow tomatoes adding a touch of colour to the dish.
\nChop the sundried tomatoes and add to the cherry and yellow tomatoes
\nFinely chop some basil and mix in with the tomatoes
\nServe as the perfect accompaniment to both the salmon and the scrambled eggs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
