Instructions
 

Braised veal cheeks:

  • Place the veal cheeks in a bowl the day before, cover with the vegetables and spices, and finally pour red wine and balsamic vinegar over them.
  • The next day, remove the veal cheeks from the marinade, pat dry and fry in oil. Then take it out of the roaster.
  • Skim off the root vegetables and spices and fry in hot oil in the roaster. Add tomato paste and roast for another 3 minutes. Deglaze with the stain.
  • Then add the veal cheeks again and either simmer for 3 hours on the stove over a low heat or simmer in the oven at 180 degrees. If the stain boils down too much, then add red wine as required.

Red wine shallots:

  • Roast shallots in oil with powdered sugar. Season with salt and reduce the black currant juice, red wine and balsamic vinegar until a jelly-like sauce is formed (approx. 20-25 minutes).

Almond Rose Sprouts:

  • Clean the Brussels sprouts. Blanch briefly in boiling water.
  • Heat the butter in a pan until it browns. Add the almond flakes and Brussels sprouts, season with pepper, salt and nutmeg, and toss briefly in the pan.

Gnocchi:

  • Bake the potatoes on sea salt in the oven at 160 ° for about 1 hour. Peel and press through the potato press into a bowl.
  • Add egg, yolk, thyme, salt, pepper, nutmeg and flour as required and knead firmly. The dough should no longer be sticky. Make rolls of dough on a floured surface and cut pieces approx. 2cm long in a diamond shape.
  • Immediately add to boiling water. As soon as the gnocchi swim up, lift them out with a skimmer and place in a baking dish. Pour your splash of olive oil over them to keep them from sticking together. 10 minutes before serving, sprinkle with plenty of Parmesan, and again for about 5 minutes in the oven at 160 °.
