For the pickled radish-

For the anchovy mayonnaise-
● Chop the anchovies finely then puree briefly with the mayonnaise in a small food processor. Add the lemon juice to taste, pass & reserve.
For the fried quinoa-
● Cook the quinoa in boiling lightly salted water until the grains split open – around 15 minutes
● Drain the quinoa & spread the grains on a metal tray, dry in a warm place for around 30 minutes
● Heat a deep fryer to 180c, fry the grains until crisp then drain well. Season with fine salt & leave in a warm place on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
For the tartar-
● Dice the bavette with a sharp knife, season with salt & pepper put to one side for 10 minutes
● Check & adjust the seasoning of the beef after ten minutes, adjust as needed.
● Add the shallot, pickled leek buds & chives. Add enough anchovy mayonnaise to bind
To assemble & finish-

● Sprinkle the fried quinoa onto the tartar, arrange the leaves over & around, finish with rapeseed oil, more leek buds & sourdough melba toast.
