Steps for Matteo Giua 's snacked cuttlefish

  1. Prepare the orange confit: peel and julienne the orange. In a saucepan, heat the sugar with 1 l of water. When the water comes to the boil, remove the pan from the heat and add the julienned orange. Chill for 1 h.
  2. Make the parsley remoulade condiment: blanch the parsley, then plunge it into iced water to stop the cooking process. In a bowl, combine the two egg yolks, whole egg, peanut oil, cider vinegar, pinch of salt and mustard. Blend to a solid mayonnaise. Add the hard-boiled eggs (cold) to this mayonnaise, along with the parsley, and blend until you have a smooth remoulade. Set aside in a cool place.
  3. Prepare the guanciale: remove the fat from the guanciale and set aside. Cut the guanciale into 2 cm pieces and brown in a saucepan until crisp. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the cockles: heat a pan with the olive oil and garlic, then add the cockles and white wine. Cover the pan and wait for the cockles to open, then remove the shells. Set aside.
  5. Cook the cuttlefish: snacke the cuttlefish in the guanciale fat (previously set aside). Season with salt.
  6. Garnish: brown the guanciale and cockles in a sauté pan, then assemble the dish by arranging the remoulade-persil condiment first, followed by the crunchy guanciale and cockles, the snacked cuttlefish and, finally, the candied orange on top. Add olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel. Garnish with a few mesclun leaves.
