Steps for the veal tartar
- The day before, trim the veal with a not-too-fine knife to keep a little lamb's lettuce. Marinate it overnight in whey, to loosen the flesh through the action of lactic acids.
- Prepare the onion pickles: peel and thinly slice the onion. Boil 30 cl of water with the sugar and vinegar, then pour over the onions. Leave to infuse.
- On the big day, prepare the wild garlic mayonnaise: blend the wild garlic leaves with the oil to obtain a green oil, then filter it. Make a mayonnaise with this oil and the remaining ingredients.
- Make the sauce: whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, ketchup, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk the sauce with the oil, then add the diced pickles (keep a few slices of onion pickles for garnishing).
- Make potato chips: peel the potato, cut into thin slices with a sharp knife or mandolin, then wash and dry with a cloth. Place the slices in a bowl, add the oil, salt and arrange on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Place in the oven at 180°C for 20 min. Turn the chips over and cook for a further 5 min.
- Finishing: press the meat through a cheesecloth. Season with tartar sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
- Presentation: place a dollop of seasoned tartar in the center of the plate. Using a piping bag, pipe streaks of mayonnaise, plant a few homemade potato chips and intersperse a few slices of onion pickle. Garnish with lamier and wild garlic flowers.
