  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp beef fat
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp brunoise of celeriac

  • 5 tbsp sliced pointed cabbage

Method

Fry the tail brown all around, fry the vegetables in the same pan, deglaze with the soy sauce and vacuum everything together.

Marinate for 24 hours and then cook in a 60°C water bath for 24 hours.

Fry all the vegetables for the Borsch in the beef fat, let it boil gently, pass through a sieve and keep the moisture. This is the sauce for the meat.

Grind the vegetables with the smetana and dill. Reduce the sauce to the correct thickness.

For the pelmini, grind all ingredients smooth, roll out the pasta dough thinly and make the pelmini. Cook them al dente in salted water.

Remove the outer leaves from the pointed cabbage and blanch in salted water. Cut the rest of the cabbage very fine and turn it into brown butter.

Season, roll tightly in the pointed cabbage leaves and cut into thin rolls.

Boil the beets in salted water, peel, dice and stew with brown butter, salt and pepper. Stew the carrots in a classic way and fry the cabbage leaf.

Dress all components on the plate and garnish with the cabbage leaf and cress.
