Method
To begin, pickle the mushrooms. Bring all the ingredients
(except the mushrooms) to the boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and
allow to cool before transferring to a container. Finely slice the mushrooms on
a mandoline or with a knife and submerge in the pickling liquid. Leave to
pickle for 1–2 hours
Make the duxelle by either finely chopping or pulsing the
mushrooms in a food processor. Add a dash of rapeseed oil to a saucepan, place
over a medium heat and add the shallots and garlic. Sweat down until lightly
softened, then add the chopped thyme and mushrooms. Cook on a low heat and
season generously with salt, pepper and cep powder
To make the purée, peel and thinly slice the artichokes. Add
the rapeseed oil to a hot saucepan with the artichokes and a generous pinch of
salt. Cook over a high heat, stirring regularly until they start to colour and
soften. Once golden, add 300ml of water to the pan and cook until the
artichokes are completely soft. Lift the artichokes out of the pan using a
slotted spoon and place in a blender. Blitz to a silky-smooth purée, adjusting
the consistency with some of the cooking liquid if necessary. Season to taste
and keep warm
Preheat a deep-fryer or deep pan of oil to 160°C
To make the crispy artichokes, wash the artichokes and slice
finely using a mandoline. Add the slices to the hot oil, stirring frequently to
achieve an even colour. Once perfectly golden, drain and place the crisps on a
tray lined with kitchen paper or a J-cloth to remove any excess oil. Season
well
Slice the remaining button mushrooms evenly on a mandoline
and set aside
To serve, place a metal ring mould in the centre of each
plate and add an even layer of duxelle, smoothing out the surface with a spoon.
Add a layer of the artichoke purée, remove the ring then add a layer of pickled
mushrooms, around five or six, to cover the purée
Add a few artichoke crisps before covering in the sliced
button mushrooms to create a dome shape. Serve immediately
