Adrian sponge

I was watching an episode of 'No Reservations' where Antony Bordain was in Spain hanging around with Albert Adria eating tapas, going to a few awesome restaurants and playing in test kitchens. Albert spoke of and roughly demonstrated a sponge recipe where by it was dispenced via syphon and cooked via microwave.
Slightly aroused I found an exact recipe on the net and set about giving it a shot.

Adrià recipe:
(perhaps the original?)

Pistachio sponge cake
80g pistachio
80g sugar
20g all purpose flour
3 eggs

1/2 liter Issi siphon
2 N2O charges






40 seconds, microwave, full power.







And unmoulded







This gave me a rather cheeky idea, a sweet course to follow perhaps a venison dish paired with chocolate jus, garlic potato custard and drunk blueberrys. The waiter would clear the venison dish and replace with the sponge dish plated on a look alike plate. The waiter would state that the kitchen hand has just walked out so the chef insists you do your own cleaning up ...







Pistacio sponge
Milk bubbles
Chocolate streaks
Smashed blueberries
Limp cream

The customers would wipe up the sauces with their edible sponge and clean their plate up!
