Preparation

Cook turnips, carrots, beans, potatoes and peas separately (one after the other) in salted boiling water then drain. Place on a towel to absorb the excess water.

In a bowl, mix egg yolk with mustard, a little salt and the vinegar, then bit by bit pour in the olive oil, whisking continuously until you obtain a thick mayonnaise.

Place cooked diced vegetables and peas in a bowl and mix with about half the mayonnaise.

Cut crayfish tail into 1 cm slices.

Place 3 PVC rings in the centre of 3 plates. Spoon a third of the vegetable mix into the rings and flatten the vegetables with a spoon. Top with crayfish slices and garnish with a few lettuce leaves and 1 tsp mayonnaise per serve.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the crayfish, top with a few chives and serve.
