Water 50ml
Chicken consommé 5g

Heavy cream 80ml
Scallops (for sashimi) As needed ... Thinly slice, lightly salt (5 minutes), pat dry, and coat with olive oil

  1. Grill or bake the bell peppers until the entire surface is charred. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and steam for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the charred skin (yielding about 150g).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the peeled bell peppers, water, and consommé, and cook until softened.

  5. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and combine with the gelatin mixture.
  6. Shape the mousse into quenelle shapes, plate, and serve with marinated scallops and Italian parsley as garnish.
