How to make verjus gel

  • Place all the ingredients into a pot and bring to simmer.  Cook for 5 minutes and then pour into a shallow pyrex pan.  Allow to cool completely (approx 1-2 hours)  Then with a knife cut up and place into a vitamix and puree until smooth.  Place into a squirt bottle and keep cold.

For the Melon Terrine

  • Peel the melon and slice into 1/4 inch thick pieces around the core.  Take mascarpone, lemon zest, poppy seed, and salt and mix well in a bowl.  Using an offset spatula spread a thin layer of the mascarpone mixture in between each layer of  melon until you have 4 layers of cheese.  Then wrap gently in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.  Continue the process until you have most of the melon used.

To Finish

  • For the duck prosciutto see recipe above.
    Take out the terrine and slice carefully and place on a plate.  Add the verjus gel, pickled strawberries and radish.  Finish with slices of duck prosciutto, chervil, and chive flowers.  Serve and enjoy!
