Medley of fresh vegetables

For the vegetables:

• Cook all the vegetables in the English way:
  • Cook the artichokes without cutting or peeling them. Once cooked and cool, remove the superficial leaves and cut into quarters.
  • The beans and peas should be peeled after cooling.
  • Cauliflower and broccoli, cut into small pieces.
  • Turned carrots, potatoes and turnip.
  • The green beans in sticks.
  • White and wild asparagus and cabbages left whole.
  • The borage is peeled beforehand.
  • Remove the green leaves from the chard and use the white part (penca) that we cook in the English style with some of its leaves so that the chlorophyll acts as an antioxidant and taking care not to let it float as to avoid oxidation.

For the sauce:

• Prepare a dark poultry stock.
• Chop the garlic stalks and onion into brunoise, sauté and soften.
• Bind with flour and add the stock, let the sauce cook.
• Add salt.

For the garnish:

• Chop up small cubes of ham, sauté and add to the sauce, removing any excess fat.

For the decoration:

• Thinly slice the ham, brown slightly in a non-stick frying pan.
• Batter and fry a selection of the cooked vegetables.
