Préparation
Vitelotte puree
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cook the potatoes in a steamer or in water for around 45 minutes to one hour until tender inside.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, cut them in half lengthways.
- Strain them through a sieve or peel them, then mash the flesh with a potato masher or fork.
- Add butter and hot milk to the mashed potatoes, mixing well until smooth and creamy.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt to taste.
- Fill a siphon and add two cartridges or simply serve as is.
Cardons
- Prepare the cardons: remove the fibres, trim off the ends and cut to size.
- Plunge the peeled cardons into a cold water bath with lemon juice to prevent them turning brown.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic and carrots. Sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften.
- Place the cardons in the pan.
- Add the white wine and simmer for a few minutes to reduce the wine.
- Pour the vegetable stock into the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover the pan and simmer over a low heat for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Boya
- Place the fillets in a shallow dish and cover generously with the brine. Make sure the brine covers the fish well.
- Cover the dish with cling film and place in the fridge. Leave to marinate in the brine for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Rinse the fish thoroughly in cold water to remove any excess brine. Gently pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Place the boya fillets on a grill, skin side down.
- Smoke the fish for around 40 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 60-65°C.
Mustard cream
- Steam the parsnips until tender.
- In a blender, mix the parsnips with the vinegar.
- Gradually add the oil and mix well.
- Add 10 g of Dijon mustard and blend until smooth.
- Season with salt.
