Burrata salad with beetroots Recipe

Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 4

Wash several different beetroots well then wrap in foil with 1 sprig of thyme, 1 bay leaf, a pinch of sea salt, 10 black peppercorns, olive oil and water. Ensure that the foil is sealed so that the beetroots will steam in the parcel. Cook for 45 minutes, until a metal skewer, or sharp knife, goes easily through the beetroot

Leave the beetroots to cool before peeling away the skin and cutting some in quarters, others in slices

Then make a lemon dressing whisk together a tbsp of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, slowly drizzle in 3 tbsp olive oil 

Next make the beetroot coulis, roughly chop 100 gr cooked red beetroot and place in a blender with 10 gr red wine vinegar, 10 g Worcestersauce, 3 drops of Tabasco, a pinch of salt&pepper and blend until smooth

To plate spread the coulis in the middle of the plate in a circle. Place ½ burrata per person on top and season with sea salt and olive oil

Dress the  beetroots with the lemon dressing and arrange around the plate. Garnish with rocket leaves and edible flowers.

    Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

    Image
    It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
