    In a separate pan, warm the milk and diced onion for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add a shot of coffee. Cover and leave for a further 30 minutes. Strain through some fine muslin cloth and season with salt.
  • 4
    Wrap Jerusalem artichokes in foil and bake in oven at 190°C for 60 minutes, until soft. Once cooked, slice open and remove the white meat inside. Season with salt.

    To plate, place the marron in a bowl and arrange pieces of Jerusalem artichoke around it. Cover the dish with warm coffee milk, followed by kelp and one tablespoon of kelp oil.

Notes

If the marron are small, double the quantity. You'll also need some fine muslin or cheesecloth to strain the coffee milk.This recipe is presented by Nespresso.
