Ingredients

  • For the shortcrust pastry:
  • All-purpose flour 300 g
  • Sugar 100 g
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil 150 g
  • Eggs 2 yolks
  • Lemon (zest only,
  • grated) 1
  • For the pastry cream:

  • Milk 1 l
  • Egg yolks 150 g
  • Sugar 200 g
  • Corn starch 60 g
  • Vanilla 1 pod
  • For the beetroot apple rose:

  • Yellow apples 5
  • Cooked beets 2
  • Sugar 100 g
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • Vanilla 1 pod
  • Raspberries to taste

Preparation

Combine flour, sugar, and lemon zest, then incorporate the egg yolks and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, working briefly until a smooth dough forms. Adjust consistency with flour or Extra Virgin Olive Oil if necessary, wrap in plastic film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Prepare the pastry cream. Roll out the dough, cut with a pastry cutter, and bake at 170°C for 10-15 minutes. Peel the apples and obtain thin slices, overlap them and roll into a rose shape, securing with a skewer. Place the roses in a vacuum bag with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and beet juice, then steam in the oven for 10 minutes and allow to cool. Caramelize the roses with granulated sugar in a baking pan, glaze with reduced beet juice. Assemble the dessert with cream and raspberries on the shortcrust bases, add the glazed roses, and serve warm.

Oil and flavor: perfect pairings for your recipes

For this elegant and refined dessert, a DOP Riviera Ligure Extra Virgin Olive Oil was selected, obtained from Taggiasca cultivar (Liguria). With a light fruity character, subtle almond notes, and a predominantly sweet sensation on the palate, it presents barely perceptible final notes of bitterness and spiciness. Its delicate profile pairs perfectly with the sweet-savory contrasts of the dish and supports its fragrance without weighing it down.
