Ingredients
Method
Chef’s tip: Sit the terrine on a cloth in the bain marie so there isn’t direct heat on the container
For the parfait…
Boil the madeira and port with shallots and garlic until reduced by half then cool.
Blitz the chicken livers with the eggs and the reduction and slowly add the melted butter, season.
Cook in a bain marie at 130o for approximately 40mins or when the middle of the parfait has reached 68 o. Allow to go cold and shape into spheres then freeze.
For the beef tartare…
Mix raw diced beef with raw shallots & season
(for best results, ingredients must be of the highest quality)
For the beetroot jelly…
Bring all ingredients to the boil, add gelatine and pass through a strainer
Dip the frozen parfait spheres in the beetroot jelly
For service…
When the parfait is defrosted it is ready to serve. Place pickled beetroot tips on top of the parfait to resemble a baby beetroot
Press the tartare into a ring then place the parfait, beetroot meringue and beetroot around with a few dots of horseradish cream and some crispy fried capers
