  • Preparation

    BROTH PREPARATION

    • Combine all the ingredients in a large pot, bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
    • Keep warm until ready to serve.

    MAYONNAISE PREPARATION

    • Place the oven rack at the top and preheat the broil.
    • Line a heat-resistant baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the rosemary sprig.
    • Bake for about 1 minute, watching closely until the rosemary begins to brown and smoke very lightly.
    • Place 20 rosemary needles in a mortar pestle and reduce to powder.
    • Finely chop green peppercorns
    • In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, burnt rosemary powder, brown sugar and chopped peppercorns, then season to taste
    • Decorate with 10 needles of burnt rosemary and keep in the fridge until serving.

    MEAL FINISHING TOUCHES

    • Arrange the ingredients on serving plates.
    • Take rosemary sprigs off the broth and pour it into the Fondussimo using a pitcher and enjoy.

    A few tips

    • Meats that should never be eaten without fully cooking them include poultry (e.g. chicken and turkey), most cuts of pork and wild game meat. While this kind of meat is often perceived as “clean” because it comes from nature, it can still carry parasites that have not been destroyed by freezing that may have serious consequences on human health.
    • The safer meats include cuts of beef, farmed game, lamb and duck intended for this purpose. Ask your butcher or your retailer for more information. When in doubt, it’s better to cook everything well than to risk poisoning!
    • To simplify the Rosemary Mayonnaise recipe, use fresh raw rosemary instead of the burnt version.
