Red Sea Urchin in a Cucumber Vichyssoise with Kusshi Oysters and Lemon Cream
Ingredients
Vichyssoise
Lemon Cream
Sea Urchin and Oysters
Instructions
Preparing the urchins for this dish can be a bit messy – don an apron and work over a baking sheet with a generous lip to catch all of the juices that run out.
Vichysoisse
To Serve
Ladle three-quarters of a cup of the vichyssoise into four soup bowls, then garnish with the sea urchin roe and the oysters. Scoop a spoonful of lemon cream into the centre of each bowl and sprinkle with chives and cucumber.
