This brightly coloured red cabbage gazpacho from Tom Shepherd is topped with a spoonful of horseradish ice cream. The red wine mayonnaise is made with a dash of red wine alongside red wine vinegar.
For the ice cream, add the milk, cream, horseradish and gellan gum into a Thermomix. Using speed 5 bring this to 50°C and then add the sugar and glucose powder and a pinch of salt. Take this to 100°C
Divide between Paco containers and freeze, then use a Pacojet to churn this when ready to serve. Alternatively, this can be done on the hob with an immersion blender and ice cream machine
For the red wine mayonnaise, place the egg yolk, mustard, red wine vinegar and red wine into a Thermomix
Blend on low for 5 minutes to aerate, then slowly begin to emulsify oil into the mix
Once thickened, season with salt, pass and set aside
To make the red cabbage gazpacho, first juice the red cabbage. You should get about 750ml of juice
Mix this with 25g of the red wine mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt and bread in the jug of a blender
Blend this together on speed 3 for two minutes then turn it up to speed 10 for one minute
Pass the gazpacho and use a vac pac machine to remove the air
To serve, place a quenelle of ice cream on each plate. Garnish with some cress and pour over some of the red cabbage gazpacho
Tom Shepherd cut his teeth in Michelin-starred kitchens working for the likes of Michael Wignall and Sat Bains, before winning Staffordshire its first ever Michelin star at his own restaurant, Upstairs, located above his father’s jewellery shop. His success is a result of an ethos centred around drawing as much flavour as possible out of every single ingredient on the plate.
