By Chef Deniz Tarakcioglu

Ingredients:

  • 3 large free range eggs
  • 100mL fresh morels
  • 50mL fresh goat cheese, crumbled
  • 250mL chives, thinly sliced
  • 75mL butter
  • 50mL white wine
  • 30mL shallots, finely diced

Instructions:

  • In a small sauce pot, add rinsed morels, white wine and 50mL of butter. Cook on medium heat until the mushrooms are cooked and the liquid has thickened into a glaze, around 5 minutes. Add chives and correct seasoning and keep warm. In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously with a pinch of salt. Heat a non stick omelette pan on medium heat, add the rest of the butter and let it foam briefly. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and shake the pan in a round motion, constantly stirring with a spatula until the eggs are almost set. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the goat cheese and roll into a cigar shape. Transfer very carefully onto a plate. Garnish with stewed morels and serve with crusty bread.

  • 150g fine semolina

  • Season the chicken breast with salt and rest for 3 minutes. In a large pan, heat up ½” of olive oil. Dip the chicken into the flour and fry with sliced lemon in olive oil until almost done, 2 minutes per side. Transfer onto a rack. Bring a medium pot of salted water up to a boil. Cook cavatelli until tender, around 3 minutes. Add capers to the pan and deglaze with white wine, reduce by half. Add stock and reduce until thick. Add butter, parsley and cavatelli.
