Dressing the plate

Dress the plate. Add the caramel of yuzu and ginger to some of the cooking juices of the seasoned vegetables. Finish with fresh herbs from the garden.

Wine tip

For this popular combination of meat and fish from the chef, Nadia suggests Le Clos Bellane by Les Échalas. This wine, based on ripe Roussane grapes is characterised by a subtle woody flavour, is refined and elegant and has a long aftertaste. This unusual Côte du Rhône in limited edition (on average 5000 bottles) originates from the Valréas region. The domain was bought in 2010 by Stéphane Vedeau.
