A good quality extra virgin olive oil can be used as well. Brush the asparagus with the marinade and reserve in the fridge until needed. |

Pairing flowers and root-vegetables seems like a food-forest pairing that Transform inhabitants might choose for their breakfast, light dessert or a snack freshly picked from one of the many urban productive gardens. Furthermore the molecular pairing of carrots and violets would definitely be known to their food design-science labs. We also paired the ingredients by colour, as design and aesthetics seem to be an important consideration in this scenario.

+ | To end the menu we served some digestive herbal iced teas. All of the teas had health benefits, but were also pleasing to the eye, albeit unnerving for some of our guests who have not seen steeped basil seeds before. They resemble tiny eyes of tadpoles, and their texture is quite slippery. Most people were keen to try them anyway. We paired the basil seeds with a hibiscus, lavender & rose and mallow teas. Hibiscus to ward off the flu season, lavender and rose as a calming and headache reducing elixir and mallow for cleansing our breathing apparatus. Talking about ethnobotanical inspirations behind this drink allowed us to talk a bit about the human-plant interaction that has deep consequences in the Transform scenario. We hope our visitors left slightly transformed themselves… | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ingredients: | ||
+ | * 2 teaspoons of sweet basil seeds | ||
+ | * 1 handful of hibiscus flowers | ||
+ | * 2 tsp dried lavender | ||
+ | * 2 tsp dried roses | ||
+ | * 5 tsp dried mallow (+ 1 tsp should be kept apart to add just before serving) | ||
+ | * sugar/ | ||
+ | * ~3l boiling water | ||
+ | |||
+ | Preparation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Basil seeds: Pour the basil seeds in a jar and cover them with ample water (the water should cover at least 5cm above the seeds). The seeds will expand over about 10 minutes. Make sure that they don’t form a gel, otherwise they’ll stick to each other - add some more water in this case. The swollen seeds should still be ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Iced teas: Steep the flowers separately in boiling water. For the quantities above we used between 500ml and 1l of water - it depends how strong you like the tea. Add a sweetener if you like, to your taste, while the water is still warm. Cool down, then chill in the fridge overnight. A note about the mallow tea: the flowers will colour the tea a beautiful blue when you just put them in, then turn purple and eventually yellow. If you want to serve a strikingly coloured drink, add a teaspoon of the flowers to the tea just before serving. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Serving: In small glasses pour first a teaspoon of basil seeds, then fill the glass with one of the flower teas. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sourcing: Sweet basil seeds came from the Central Market in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Hibiscus flowers were a gift from Veronique Linard that she picked up while working with crafter-jewellers in Burkina Faso. Dried lavender came from a lavender farm in Istria, Croatia, roses and mallow came from Mmmmh in Brussels. | ||
