Parsley root: cut the root lengthwise with the
bread slicer into half-inch thick slices. Steam
them briefly. Then fry them in a hot grill pan.
Carrot slices: cut a few carrots of different
color into thin slices and steam them go.
Brussels sprouts: clean the Brussels sprouts
and steam them until tender. Then fry them
briefly and violently in a little butter.
Figs: quarter the figs. Melt a little Roquefort
cheese in the microwave. Spoon a teaspoon of
cheese into the center of the cut figs.
Jerusalem artichoke puree: peel and steam
these vegetables and puree them with an egg,
butter and cream. Season with nutmeg, pepper
and salt. Spoon the puree into individual jars,
cover with grated Gruyère and let color under
the grill in the oven.
The sauce: make a roux of butter and flour.
Dilute with chicken broth and cream. Add half a
cube of fine herb stock. Season with salt and a
few turns of the pepper mill. Pour in a
generous splash of Noilly Prat or other dry
vermouth and thicken the sauce with some
cornstarch if necessary.
Cactus figs: halve the figs and cut off a slice at
the bottom so they stay upright on the plate.
Serve with a spoon to empty the prickly pears.
Partridge: fry the partridge fillets on both sides
for a few minutes on high heat in a pan with
some butter. Pour in a shot glass of water,
cover, lower the heat and simmer for another
ten minutes or so until the fillets are done. Pre-
cut them into inch-thick slices before serving.
On the dinner plate: choose an oblong plate
and arrange all the ingredients according to
your own inspiration or as in the picture. Finish
with grated sticks of beet and corn salad. The
puree and a sauce pan are served separately
and individually.
