Instructions

Silverside : Drizzle the oil n a large frying pan and add the butter. When bubbling gently sauté the onion and garlic, until soft and fragrant.

Add the gherkins, toss through the onion mixture, then carefully, in handfuls scatter in your silverside. You may need to add a dash more oil. Cook, turning occasionally for 3 – 4 minutes.

Increase the heat and add the Worcestershire sauce, cook for a minute then add your knob of butter and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Cook until the meat is starting to breakdown and have gorgeous crispy bits, pop in an ovenproof dish, into a warm oven until ready to serve.

Apple & Fennel Rosti : Pop the butter, oil, garlic and onions in a frying pan and sauté gently, until the onions start to turn golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.

The apples don’t need to be peeled, but peel the potatoes and grate directly into a clean t-towel, gather up the edges and squeeze out as much liquid and excess moisture as possible.   Scrape into a large bowl with the egg, fennel and onion mixture. Season and mix well.   Preheat oven to 110.

In the same frying pan, add another dash of oil and using a cookie cutter as a mould place a couple of spoonfuls of the rosti mixture into the cutter and press down firmly. Cook your rostis on both sides until golden brown, then place in the oven on a tray until ready to serve.   Continue with your mixture until you have 8 golden rostis in the oven!

Mustard Cream Sauce : Pour the cream and stock into a saucepan, season and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about a quarter. Whisk in the mustards and sugar. Remove from the heat and keep warm until read to use.

Serve : Rostis on the plate, pile on a portion of your crispy pan fried silverside, a drizzle of sauce then sprinkle over the fresh parsley.  The flavours in this dish are incredible.
