Preparation

  1. Rocket flan

    Blanch the rocket for approx. two minutes. Next, place in the mixer and mix until it forms a fine puree. Sieve the mixture and set to one side.

    Combine the steeped gelatin with “Der edle Maxx 365” cheese and the hot chicken stock and mix.

    Pass the mixture through a sieve, mix with the rocket puree and leave to cool. Just before the mixture sets, carefully fold in the whipped cream.

    Leave to set on a flat tray in the fridge.

  2. Sablé

    Combine the sugar, butter, and egg white. Add the flour and nuts. Roll the mixture into little balls and place on a baking tray.

    Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for ten minutes at 180°C.

    Then leave to cool and break into sheets.

  3. Sauce

    Heat the cream before adding “Der edle Maxx 365” cheese and the truffle.

    Stir the mixture, then season with salt and pass through a sieve.

  4. Tagliata

    Season the entrecôte with salt and pepper.

    Quick-fry on both sides at a high heat.

    Next, bake on the middle shelf of the oven for six minutes at 150°C.

    Switch off the oven and leave the door ajar.

    Carve the entrecôte into thin slices.

  5. Truffle mayonnaise

    Put the egg yolk, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper into a bowl.

    Then combine with the oils to form an homogeneous mixture.

  6. To serve

    Cut out circles of the rocket flan and lay on a flat plate.

    Place the sablé on the flan.

    Top this with one to two discs of tagliata.

    Drizzle over a little of the “Der edle Maxx 365” sauce.

    Repeat the process until you have a beautiful mini tower. 

    Garnish with a couple of fresh rocket leaves and a few spots of truffle mayo.
