    2 small courgettes

    1 tomato
    1 leek
    2 medium potatoes
    6 cepes (or other mushrooms)
    Beef dripping

    2 tablespoons olive oil
    ½ clove garlic
    ½ pint (300ml) of veal stock

    Recipe



    Marinade
    Saute the shallots and pepper together until they start to caramelise, then add the red wine, Drambuie and Henderson’s Relish and bring to the boil . Pass through a strainer into a small bowl, then add the steaks and leave for 24 hours to marinate.
    Main Dish
    Slice the tomato into 6 thin slices, then cut the cooked beetroot into 2 slices and leave in a warm place to dry out.

    Peel and cut the celeriac into small pieces then boil. When cooked, puree and add salt and pepper.

    Blanch the green leaves of the leek in hot water and refresh straight away in cold water. Repeat the same process for the carrots.

    Line a small ring mould with the leaves of the leek and add the celeriac puree and keep warm.

    Peel the swede and cut into half-moon shapes about ¼" (.5cm) thick.

    Ore the courgettes with an apple corer and fill with the blanched carrot.

    Cut the potatoes into 6 discs approximately ½" thick by 1½ " diameter (1cm x 3 cm) using a pastry cutter. Cook in the beef fat and two tablespoons Henderson’s Relish.

    Take the 2 steaks out of the marinade and fry off. Cook the two steaks, preferably in a Chargrill, until cooked to your liking.

    Blanch the swede in a pan of hot water until tender.


    Sauces
    Veal Glace
    Reduce the ½ pint of veal stock rapidly by two-thirds.

    Marinade
    Strain the marinade into a small sauce pan and reduce by two-thirds.

    Basil
    Liquidise the olive oil, basil and garlic and season well.


    To Serve
    Place the mould of celeriac and leek onto the centre of the plate with a slice of goat’s cheese on top. Place 3 of the Beef Confit Potatoes evenly around the edge of the plate then put into a warm oven until the cheese starts to melt.

    Remove the plate from the oven and place the Half Moons of Swede and a sliced Stuffed Courgette around the Goat’s Cheese and top with 1 slice of the dried beetroot. Place a slice of the dried tomato on top of each of the potatoes.

    To finish, pour the 3 Sauces (Basil, Reduction of Marinade and the Veal Glace) evenly around the edge of the plate.
