Salty and rich, Brazilian requeijão is a type of runny cream cheese, and a delicious base for a dip. In this recipe from Caroline Martins, crudités are served with rich whipped requeijão and a dehydrated olive crumb.
Preheat the oven to 150°C
Pat the olives dry and place them on a baking tray
Dehydrate the olives for 3 hours in a low oven, then blitz the dehydrated olives in a food processor into a coarse crumb
Meanwhile, blend the cream cheese, vinegar and double cream until smooth. Season with salt
Blend in the xanthan gum little by little until the mixture is smooth
Add the cream cheese mixture to a siphon, and charge the siphon with one CO2 charge. Keep at room temperature until ready to serve
Wash the baby vegetables
When ready, shake your syphon vigorously and serve aerated cheese topped with the black olive crumb, and the vegetables for dipping. Garnish with edible flowers
