Preparation

First, prepare the beetroot nest. If you have a spiralizer or a vegetable noodle maker, use it to create thin strands of beetroot. Alternatively, with a mandoline, slice the beetroot into thin rounds and then cut them into matchstick-sized pieces. Season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste, then set aside.
For the mayonnaise, place all the ingredients in a tall container for an immersion blender. Start blending from the bottom, then slowly lift the blender until the mayonnaise is fully emulsified and thickened. Set aside.
Boil the quail eggs for about 3’, so that they are hard but not too dry. Once cooked, remove them from the water and set them aside.
In a pan, melt a knob of butter and sauté the asparagus spears. Season with salt to taste and set them aside.
For the quail breasts, heat a well-seasoned pan. Cook the breasts for about 3’ per side, just enough to brown them nicely without overcooking. Once done, set them aside.
To plate, place a spoonful of mayonnaise in the center of each plate. Top with the seasoned beetroot nest. Arrange the quail eggs (cut in half), quail breasts, and asparagus spears alternately, using 3 quail breasts per serving. Garnish with a few dollops of mayonnaise and a sprinkle of flaked salt. If desired, add a light dusting of onion powder or celery powder for an extra touch of flavor.
