Carpaccio of Scotch Beef:
Remove and fat and silver skin from the fillet. Seal then roll in chopped chives, tarragon, parsley and cracked black pepper. Roll tightly in cling film and freeze.
Consommé jelly:
Dice all vegetables then blend in a food processor with the beef trimmings and egg white. Whisk this raft into the veal stock and slowly bring up to a simmer. Once the raft is cooked pass the consommé through muslin and then season. Set the consommé with the gelatine.
Brine:
Bring all the ingredients to a boil then cover the tongue and leave to brine for 24 hours.
Tongue:
Place all the ingredients in a vac pack bag and cook over night at 92°C. Leave to cool in the bag until needed.
Horseradish gel:
Warm the horseradish and milk, add the agar and cook for 5 minutes. Set, then blend to use.
Velouté:
Blend together to create a foam.
Skirlie:
Melt the Scotch Beef suet and sweat the onion without colouring. Add the oats to absorb the fat then cook for a further 2-3 minutes whilst stirring, season with salt, a good pinch of mace and white pepper.
