75 gr. melted butter
Herbs:
12 leaves from the tops of the carrots used.
4 leaves from the tops of the parsley roots
PREPARATION:
Vegetables: Peel the carrots leaving 1 cm of the tops behind, cut them in half so you keep top and bottom separately. Scrape the radishes and the leeks free of dirt and cut them in half as the carrots. Scrape the celeriac and the artichoke and quarter them. Blanch all the vegetables until tender in salted water. Heat the water and whisk in all butter to an emulsion.
Purée: Boil the potatoes and crush with a fork, add the rest of the ingredients while still warm.
Malt soil : Mix all the ingredients from day 1 and dry for 5 h. at 80°C and discard all the big, dry lumps. Mix day 2 separately and add it to the first batch, work the batch for a few minutes and make sure that it is completely homogeneous without any lumps of raw dough.
TO SERVE:
Heat the vegetables in the butter emulsion and heat the pure in a pot by itself, seasoning it with a bit of horseradish juice. Plate a small spoonful on a stone and add all the vegetables to simulate that they are sticking up from the ground. Sprinkle the malt soil on top and add the picked and rinsed herbs on top.
