- For the mayonnaise, whisk the egg yolks, adding the vegetable oil a little at a time, add the salt (3 g) and lemon juice, then blend with the chamomile.
- For the pop-amaranth, heat a frying pan and pour the amaranth seeds in a few seeds at a time, after a few seconds they will start to pop like popcorn, remove immediately from the heat and place in a cold dish.
- For the pickled cherries wash and stone the cherries. Put cloves (2 g), star anise, raspberry vinegar, apple vinegar and cane sugar (80 g) in a saucepan, bring to the boil, allow to cool for 5’ and then pour over the stoned cherries.
- Take the leg out of the brine and rub it with the spice mix – combining black pepper (20 g), coriander seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds and smoked paprika – cook at 90 °C (194 °F) until the temperature reaches 50 °C (122 °F) at the core. Slice the meat very thinly and arrange on the serving dish, add some small mounds of chamomile mayonnaise, the cherries and 3 level tablespoons of pop-amaranth.
