Rib of Milk Fed Veal, Artickokes: Stuffed Globes and Smoked Jerusalem, Caper & Raisin Puree.

With the new Veal dish we've decided to bring back a bit of the old fashioned theatre to the dinning room. We cook the ribs sous-vide and colour them to order. The waiter then carves the rib from the bone table side and plates it for the guest. I think its important to keep some of the traditional techniques alive as they can so easily be forgotten in today's modern society.
The picture above is of the garnish which we plate in the kitchen. We smoke the Jerusalem artichokes, over vines and wine casks, after they are cooked and then puree them. The caper and raisin puree is a favourite of mine and the sweet, salty, sour flavours are necessary to cut through the richness of the meat and the puree. The stuffing for the globes is made from sweat breads, bone marrow, almonds, lemon zest, shallot and a little garlic and is well balanced against the sharp artichokes. The sauce is brought to life with a little jerez vinegar and brings everything together nicely.

Organic Milk fed Veal, Green Barley Cous-Cous, Sweatbread, Baby Garlic and Puree of Caramelized Shallots

I've been Getting the most beautiful Veal from Northern N.S.W. just behind Coff's Harbour. It comes form Angus Bulls on Milk Cows and has the most fantastic flavour. The calf's are milk and grain fed and graze on the lush hills of an old volcano. The farm is completely Bio dynamic.The leanness of the loin appreciated cooking sous-vide in the Roner. I served it with some Green Pearl Barley which we cook with a Bay stock and finish with preserved lemon and white onion. It tastes really clean like a spring meadow and goes great with the veal. The plate is finished with some braised young garlic that we cook until they melt in your mouth. A lovely subtle sweet flavour. The dish is sauced at the table with a light Madeira Jus that is split with Argan Oil, the nuttiness makes sense of the whole dish. This is what would be called Rose Veal in Europe and it has a fantastic pale pink colour as you can see. A really fantastic product.
