Christmas Pre Starter Mystery item in the picture :Sweetbreads with Parsnip Air and Curry Oil

[daniel123456789876543]

Hello,

 

I am creating this prestarter for christmas day lunch. Decided to cook sweatbreads after seeing it on Masterchef! This is the recipe I am using https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/veal-sweetbreads-recipe-parsnip-air-and-curry-oil

 

 

In the picture I have circled in red a layer under the Sweatbread there is no mention of it in the recipe and I have no idea what it may be apart from maybe something like caviar! Anybody have any ideas or is it part of the sweatbread?

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

If I had to eat lunch on xmas day, parsnip air would be about all I could handle. That and a cup of tea.

Clearly a black hole.

@BonVivantGreat idea to adjust the brightness/contrast.  It definitely looks like some kind of wilted green... could be spinach, pea shoots... I don't think it's that important overall - sometimes, things are added to restaurant dishes for reasons like stability when carrying the plate through the restaurant - like a bit of cookie crumbled under a scoop of ice cream.  Otherwise, the round piece of sweetbread could roll around the plate while in transit between kitchen and table.
