Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly and Beef Tongue

    Season the pork belly and beef tongue with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the pork belly until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside. Sear the beef tongue for about 3-4 minutes on each side, then remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Savoy Cabbage

    In the same skillet, add shredded Savoy cabbage and sauté until wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mung Beans and Pickled Turnips

    Cook mung beans in boiling water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and season with salt. Chop pickled turnips into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Make the English Pea Puree

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil, add English peas and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green. Drain and blend with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  5. 5

    Cook the Chanterelle Mushrooms

    In a separate skillet, sauté chanterelle mushrooms in olive oil until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Juniper Red Wine Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine red wine, crushed juniper berries, and reduce by half over medium heat. Strain and set aside.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, layer the sautéed Savoy cabbage, followed by slices of pork belly and beef tongue. Add a dollop of mung beans, sprinkle with pickled turnips, and drizzle with English pea puree and juniper red wine sauce. Garnish with crumbled Comté cheese and sautéed chanterelle mushrooms.
