This recipe comes from the book Veggies & Fish by Bart van Olphen. The ideal appetizer board consists of deep-fried wafer-thin vegetable chips and small shrimp. Delicious with homemade aioli. Enjoy!

Recipe - steps

  • 1 Using a mandolin or shave, cut the cassava, sweet potato, beets and carrot into thin slices. Let them dry separately on a wire rack for 30 min.
  • 2 For the aioli: press the garlic and bread with a pinch of salt in a mortar to a paste. Mix in the egg yolk with a whisk, then add the olive oil drop by drop while stirring. A mayonnaise-like texture will slowly form. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • 3 Heat the oil to 170 °C and fry the sliced vegetables and cavolo nero for up to 2 minutes until crispy. Drain immediately on kitchen paper. Then fry the shrimp in the same oil for 1 minute until crispy. Drain well on kitchen paper.
  • 4 Serve with salt flakes and the aioli.
