  • 75g lilliput capers

  • 100g butter
  • 100g Parmesan
  • Salt and pepper

Method

To make the potato terrine

  2. Peel and wash the potatoes, then thinly slice using a mandolin or sharp knife.
  3. Layer the potato into a terrine mould lined with greaseproof paper.
  4. Brush the melted butter over each layer of potato and bake for 35–40 minutes, then chill.

To make the tartare

  1. Sear the beef in a hot pan to caramelise all sides.
  2. Then finely dice the beef, shallot and gherkins.
  3. Mix together with the capers, then season with salt and black pepper.
