Pigeon Royale

Separate breasts with wings and legs from the rest of the pigeon then clean them carefully. Keep the rest for the sauce.

Vacuum pack the legs together with duck fat and boil in 71°C for 2 hours, then oven bake. Fry the breasts in pre-heated oil on both sides, at the end add butter and caramelise.

Whip the egg whites and add all salt. Carefully wash the celeries and cover them with egg whites and salt so that there are no gaps. Oven bake for 2 hours at 190°C.

Vacuum pack the garlic and boil for 40 days in 60°C until black. Cool down and remove all skin. Stir-fry in oil and baste with some vegetable stock. Melt the butter and cream. Mix the garlic and slowly pour the cream first followed by the butter that will thicken the mixture.

Pour the mead into a pan, bring to boil and flambe to remove alcohol. Add to demi-glace and bring to boil. Clean the celery and cut it into irregular pieces, then caramelise it in butter.

To serve, place 5 pieces of caramelised celery on the plate with little ‘dots’ of black garlic puree in between. On top, put half of pigeon breast and whole leg. Pour some mead sauce on top and decorate with herbs.

Neck of Wild Boar
Marinate the wild boar in red wine, vegetables and juniper for 24 hours. Vacuum-pack and cook for 24 hours in 64°C.

Wrap the topinambours and beetroots in foil, each one separately with butter and salt. Bake in 190°C for 20-40 minutes, then cool. Peel and the beetroots and cut them into irregular shapes, cut the topinambours in halves.

Tip the raspberries into a pan, add sugar and boil. When all raspberries are soft, mix and sieve to obtain a smooth puree and sprinkle lightly with red wine.

Cool the wild boar, cut into portions and fry on both sides. Fry the topinambour in oil on both sides and caramelise with butter. Fry the beetroot in oil then add butter and honey to caramelise. Cut the pears in quarters. Carefully wash the potatoes, boil them for a moment, cool and slice. Fry on both sides until golden. Tip the wine into a pan, bring to boil and flambe to remove alcohol. Pour into demi-glace and season with cherry vinegar.

To serve, smudge the raspberry puree in the middle of the dish. Place the wild board portion on top, followed by caramelised topinambour, beetroots in honey and potatoes. Pour the sauce on top, add pears and decorate with herbs.

Pumpkin Panna Cotta

Using milk, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla prepare sauce anglaise. Cool down, tip into pre-frozen ice cream maker and pound. Towards the end add the other half of the pumpkin puree and continue pounding, then freeze the ready mixture.

Clean the second pumpkin and cut into small pieces. Place in a pan, add sugar, cloves and water. Slow cook for 2 hours then freeze. When frozen, put onto a lined sieve and store in a cool place until the essence has dropped.

To serve, place a portion of pumpkin mousse in the middle of a soup dish and put the caramel seeds around it. Serve the consommé in a separate glass.
