Purée
Peel the chervil root and cut it into thin slices. Add cream, butter, lemon juice and salt. Pack it into a vacuum bag and cook it in Sous vide cooker at 85°C for approximately 90 minutes. Make the purée, mash everything through a fine strainer and keep it warm until usage.
Sauce
Chop finely the shallot and garlic, remove the seeds from the pepper and cut it roughly. Stew the shallot and garlic on olive oil, add cut pepper, thyme and anise seeds, fry well everything, pour Noilly Prat and white wine and simmer well. Then add vegetable base and simmer everything until it is half done. Remove the thyme, put it in the mixer and mix finely. At the end mash it through the fine strainer, mix in the butter and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Salad
Clean, wash and dry the salad. Slowly beat the ingredients for vinaigrette until the dressing emulsifies.
To serve
Spray the warm chervil purée with a pastry bag at the bottom of the crystal eggs. Cut the warm eggs in half with a knife, and slide in a bowl. Carefully take the egg yolk with a little bit of the egg white with a table spoon and place it on the chervil root purée. Drag each salad leaf separately through the dressing and put them around the egg. At the end pour the warm yellow pepper sauce over the egg, garnish with herbs and serve immediately.
