Pancetta king prawns, pecorino and pear foam and a beetroot and apple salad

20 ingredients 30 min + 2 hr Serves 2 openrecipes

This is inspired by Heston Blumenthal’s ‘The Sound of The Sea’. The beetroot salad is the stony beach, the foam the surf and the prawns are like dolphins in the surf. Don’t forget the parsley sea weed!
