Ingredients
- 300g Goats cheese
- 50 g Pine kernels, toasted
- 1 tsp chopped tarragon
- 1 tsp chopped flat leaf Parsley
- 2 tsp chopped Basil
- 1 clove Garlic, chopped
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 180ml double cream, semi-whipped
- 1 large Beetroot
For the pickled mushrooms
- 600 ml water
- 250ml white wine vinegar
- 100ml Honey
- 4 Star anise
- 2 Cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 White peppercorns
- 150g mixed wild mushrooms
For the garnish
- 1 duck egg, poached
- chervil
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.2. Blend the goat's cheese in a food processor with the pine nuts, herbs, garlic and honey.
3. Once blended, gently fold in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Roll the goat's cheese mix in cling film to create a barrel shape and pop it in the fridge until later.
4. Wrap the beetroot in tin foil and place in the oven for about 1 hour, until it's soft in the middle. Leave to cool, then peel and slice into 1/2 cm thick round pieces.
5. For the pickled mushrooms, place all the ingredients except the mushrooms in a pan and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 15 minutes, then pour over the mixed wild mushrooms and reserve.
6. Slice the goat's cheese parfait into even slices, then layer up on a serving plate, alternating 3 pieces of beetroot with 2 pieces of goat's cheese. Place the poached duck egg on top, then garnish with picked chervil and the pickled wild mushrooms.
