Ingredients: 1.5 lbs fresh salsify roots, peeled and rinsed; Water with lemon juice (for soak); 2 quarts neutral oil for frying (peanut or vegetable); Fine sea salt; 6 anchovy fillets (best quality); 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened; 1 tablespoon heavy cream; 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard; Pinch of cayenne; 2 lemons, halved; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 2 cloves garlic, smashed; 2 sprigs fresh thyme; 8 oz burrata cheese (1 whole or 2 portions), at room temperature; Fleur de sel; Fresh herb salad (dill, chives, tarragon) for garnish

Delicate salsify root is sliced paper-thin and fried until shatteringly crisp, then layered with warm burrata and a silky anchovy emulsion. A drizzle of charred lemon oil brings bitter, burnt-citrus notes—an elegant, texture-forward appetizer that feels entirely novel and deeply composed.
