Pomegranate Seed Salad and Roe with Ginger Ice Cream

Preparation

Seed the pomegranate, tomato and passion fruit. Retain just 2 passion fruit seeds per person and set aside. Place the basil seeds in water and leave to soak.

For the ginger ice cream
Mix the solid ingredients (sugar, powdered milk, glucose and neutral stabilizer) and then mix the liquids (whole milk, inverted sugar, cream and egg yolk). Combine the two mixtures and bring to a temperature of 85ºC / 185ºF. Remove from the heat and add the ginger cut into pieces. Leave to infuse for at least 8 hours. Strain, then transfer to the ice cream maker.

Pedrouzos 2005 (DO Valdeorras) by Bodegas Valdesil. Pedrouzos is the oldest Godello vineyard in Galicia. Its extremely slaty soil brings out the most jovial side of the Godello variety. The notes of white flower (aniseed), pitted fruit and minerals (especially silex) marry perfectly with the balsamic and salty flavors in the salad (provided by the basil and the roe), with the citric taste of the ginger and the sweetness of the pomegranate and tomato.
