Garnish the centre with the almond yuzu condiment and the vanilla emulsion, then sprinkle with the candied nuts. Place shells of yuzu sorbet and the mango and passion fruit tuiles on the sweet shortcrust pastry ring. Sprinkle some lime zest on top and pour some lemon-honey sauce. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
