Instructions
 

Red Pepper sauce

  • Add enough oil to coat the bottom of a pot and sweat the shallots and garlic with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the paprika and toast for 60 seconds.
  • Add the pepper juice to 10%, and you will be able to see the shallots and garlic.
  • Add a splash of cream and reduce the mixture to the original consistency.
  • Add the cold cubed butter a little at a time until fully emulsified.
  • Strain the sauce, sherry vinegar, and salt if needed.

Fennel Split sauce

    Fennel Oil

    • Add the picked fennel and parsley to a pot of boiling water, blaching for 10-15 seconds then shock in an ice bath.
    • Squeeze out all the water, then cut the herbs into smaller pieces.
    • Add enough oil to blend the herbs. The less oil you use, the stronger the flavor and color.
    • For the strongest flavor, let the herbs sit in the oil for 24 hours, then strain.

    Fennel Base

    • Thinnly slice the fennel bulb on a mandolin. Try to not use any green parts.
    • To a pan, add enough oil to coat the bottom with the shallot, garlic, shaved fennel, a pinch of salt and sweat.
    • Add in the white wine and cook au sec or almost dry.
    • Add in the heavy cream, chicken stock, thyme and lemon peels.
    • Cook on medium heat and reduce by half, 10-15 minutes.
    • Blend in a blender, season with lemon and salt then strain.
    • Add in the oil right before serving.

    Pan Sauce

    • Remove your protein from the pan and drain off any excess fat.
    • Add in the shallots and garlic to the pan sweat.
    • Add the wine and cook au sec (almost dry).
    • Add in the demi glace and cook until nappe or to coat the back of a spoon.
    • Finish with butter, sherry vinegar and salt if needed.
