For the recipe

Savory Panna Cotta with Broccoli Cream and Truffle Modena Pearls​

Soak the gelatine sheets in fresh water for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile pour the cream and milk in a saucepan and heat until almost boiling.​

Turn off the stove. Add the drained and well squeezed gelatin and mix.​

Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until it’s well blended with all the ingredients. Divide the mixture into four single portion moulds and allow to cool to room temperature.​

Transfer the panna cotta to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to solidify.​

Boil the broccoli flowerets in salted boiling water for 6-7 minutes then drain and cool in ice water to keep the color.​

Set aside some of the broccoli cooking water. Put the vegetables well drained in a blender together with a clove of garlic, some of the broccoli cooking water and a drop of extra virgin olive oil.​

Season with ground pepper and blend until creamy. If necessary, add more cooking water to achieve the desired consistency.​

When serving, place a base of broccoli cream on each plate. Remove the panna cotta from the molds and place it on the cream.​

Add a little more broccoli puree over the panna cotta and decorate with De Nigris Truffle Modena Pearls.
