Method
For the Crumbles:
Each crumble is prepared the same way. Combine all ingredients except butter in a blender or food processor and blend. Slowly incorporate the melted butter until small clumps appear.
Spread each mixture as flat and evenly as possible on a sheet pan and bake at 325°F for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
For the Lemongrass Panna Cotta:
Combine gelatin and milk in a mixing bowl and set aside to “bloom” for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together heavy cream, sugar, and lemongrass oil. Then, incorporate the milk-gelatin mixture into the heavy cream mixture and whisk well.
Pour cream into a large sous-vide pouch and cook at 194°F (90°C) for one hour.
Remove from the water bath and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or overnight for best results.
To serve:Once it has set, open the pouch and spoon the panna cotta into small glasses. Top with chocolate, almond, and pistachio crumbles. Finish with pomegranate arils.
