- 1/2 litre crème de Bresse cream
- 50 g Bresse butter
- 1/4 litre of white wine
Pea mousseline
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 shallot
- 300 g shelled fresh peas
- 250 ml of white stock
- 1 tablespoon thick crème de Bresse cream
Grilled octopus
- 1 octopus
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 1/4 litre of white wine
- 250 ml virgin pistachio oil
Bresse Gauloise chicken
- 4 Bresse chicken breast fillets
- 10 slices of smoked bacon
Method
Dublin bay prawn head mousse
- In a casserole dish, brown the prawn heads.
- Add the shallots, garlic, thyme and tomatoes.
- Cook until golden brown.
- Add the butter, wait until it goes golden brown and deglaze with the white wine.
- Leave the mixture to reduce, add the cream. Leave to boil, then leave to infuse at 70 C for 30 minutes.
- Strain the mixture in a conical strainer and emulsify.
Pea mousseline
- Add the olive oil to a casserole dish.
- Add the garlic and a finely chopped shallot. Once crystallised, add the peas.
- Quickly douse with the hot chicken stock and quickly bring to the boil to keep the mousseline nice and green.
- Mix in the food processor, then just before serving, add the seasoned thick cream.
Grilled octopus
- Leave your octopus in the freezer for 1 to 2 days so it is more tender after it has been cooked.
- Place it in a saucepan with the aromatic garnish and the white wine and cook it as a stew for 3 hours.
- Cut the tentacles in half and grill them in pistachio oil. Serve piping hot.
Bresse Gauloise chicken
- Wrap the chicken with the thin strips of smoked bacon.
- To make sure they are wrapped tightly, bind and roast in bubbling Bresse butter.
- For the last 20 minutes in the oven, turn the temperature up to 220 C.
- Leave to stand and serve with all of the different dishes on your plate.
Bon appétit!
