Marcus at Home for Easter
Plating Instructions
- Heat a heavy frying pan, brush the trout portions with olive oil and sear for 1 minute on one side.
- Spoon a little sauce in the centre of the plate and put the seared trout on top.
- Dress asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the tartare on one side of the plate, asparagus on the other.
- Drain the pickled mouli discs and arrange over the tartare.
- Dress with herbs & flowers.
Lamb:
- Pre-heat oven to 180*C.
- Cut the bag and place lamb on a small baking tray with rosemary & a splash of olive oil (no need to salt). Roast in oven for 25-35 minutes until lightly golden. Probe to 40*C for pink. Remove from oven and brush with malt glaze. Return to oven and cook for a further 10 minutes, basting the lamb with the glaze twice during this time.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for around 15 minutes before carving.
Aubergine:
- Turn down the oven to 150*C.
- Place aubergine halves in oven for 15 minutes until warm.
- Slice the spring onions finely on the angle and sprinkle over along with the mint leaves.
Terrine:
- Add a small knob of butter to non-stick pan.
- Cook terrine over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Put in the oven to finish warming with aubergine.
- Season with sea salt before serving.
- Remove cake and caramel sauce from fridge before serving the main course to allow it to come to room temperature.
- The sponge and caramel sauce can both be popped in the microwave on full speed for 60 seconds, still in containers with the lid ajar.
- Alternatively, place cakes on baking tray, cover with tin foil and reheat in oven at 150*C for 15 minutes. The caramel sauce can also be reheated in a saucepan by bringing up gently to the boil.
- Serve with a scoop of creme fraiche mousse.
