Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Fiddlehead Ferns (to taste)
  • Bamboo Shoots (to taste)
  • Prosciutto (to taste)
  • Onsen Egg (to taste)
  • Buckwheat Flour 50g
  • All-Purpose Flour 100g
  • Dry Yeast a pinch
  • Beer (approx. 200ml)
  • Fontina Cheese 30g
  • Heavy Cream 140cc

Seasonings

  • Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Salt (a pinch)
  • EV Olive Oil (a drizzle)
  • [Fonduta Sauce] Parmesan Cheese 20g
  • [Fonduta Sauce] Salt a pinch
  • Parmesan Cheese (to taste)

Steps

  1. Trim the hard, dark parts off the fiddlehead ferns.
  2. Cut the bamboo shoots into thin strips for easy wrapping with prosciutto.
  3. Wrap the fiddlehead ferns and bamboo shoots with prosciutto, leaving the tips slightly exposed. Secure them so the prosciutto doesn't peel off during frying.
  4. In a bowl, combine 100g All-Purpose Flour, 50g Buckwheat Flour, a pinch of Dry Yeast, and a pinch of Salt. Mix well. Gradually add approx. 200ml of Beer and mix until you have a thick batter. (Chef's Tip!) Adding beer makes the batter extra crispy.
  5. Fry the fiddlehead ferns and bamboo shoots wrapped in prosciutto in oil heated to around 180°C (350°F). It's good to leave the tips of the fiddleheads uncovered by batter.
  6. Pour 140cc of Heavy Cream into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  7. Before it boils, gradually add 30g of Fontina Cheese, stirring slowly to melt without separating.
  8. Once mostly melted, add 20g of Parmesan Cheese and a pinch of Salt. Stir until it reaches your desired consistency to complete the fonduta sauce.
  9. Prepare the onsen egg.
  10. Arrange the fried morsels and the onsen egg on a plate.
  11. Generously pour the finished fonduta sauce over the dish.
  12. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
