Please explain this main course meal...?
Can someone tell me (simply) what exactly this is...
Pan-fried beef tenderloin, Jerusalem artichoke mousseline and oxtail and foie gras cannelloni.
Answers:
The tenderloin is the same meat as filet mignon steak. They are probably just using a smaller sized medallion and pan frying them instead of grilling.
Jerusalem artichokes are also called " sunchokes" because the flowers look like sunflowers and the part you eat is the tuberous starchy root which has a flavour similar to artichoke hearts.
Mousseline is a hollandaise sauce with whipped cream, but can the name can also be used for anything with a fluffy mousse texture.
So really it is just some fluffy accompniment made with sunchokes.
The cannelloni is a tubular pasta which has probably been stuffed with a pate-like mixture made of oxtail and goose liver mixture.
So, are you going to try it? Sounds a bit odd, but ya never know!
Bon appetite!
