For Yolk Vinaigrette

1⁄2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper crushed

20 gm kale
Directions
1. Place together the boiled eggs & diced beetroot in a bowl. Take a pan, add water, sugar, apple cider vinegar, cloves, star anise & salt, and let it boil.
2. Pour this liquid over the eggs & beetroot covering them completely & keep it aside for a minimum of 2 hours.
3. Arrange the cherry tomatoes & grated garlic on a baking dish & tuck thyme sprigs around. Drizzle generously with olive oil, until the tomatoes are halfway submerged.
4. Sprinkle with sugar & season with salt & pepper to taste. Add the balsamic vinegar & toss gently to coat. Bake at 130°c until tomatoes are wrinkly & not burst, about 1.5 hours.
5. Once ready, remove the tomatoes from the oven & let them cool at room temperature. Store in air-tight containers, topping the tomatoes with its cooking oil.
6. For cured eggs, mix equal parts of sugar & salt. Divide the mix into two equal parts. Put the first part in a bowl, place the egg yolks on top & cover with another part. Keep it in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Wash & pat dry the yolks afterwards & bake in the preheated oven at 95o°C for 30 minutes or until the yolks are dry to the touch.
7. For yolk vinaigrette, place egg yolk in a bowl. Add mustard & mix. Add parsley, chopped shallots & vinegar. Season with salt & pepper & mix well. Add oil in a thin stream whisking continuously, add lemon juice & adjust the seasoning.
8. To serve, mix the yolk vinaigrette with kale & corn kernels, and place both of them separately. Mix the vinaigrette with half-cut beet eggs & confit tomatoes, and assemble separately next to each other. Garnish with grated cured egg yolk.
