1 tsp seeded or whole grain mustard
50ml verjuice
100 mls Olive oil

METHOD
Use some salt cured meat like Bresaola, which is from Beef, or you can use Prosciutto, ham or salami
To make 1st vinaigrette - separate the egg, using one yolk for approx. 2-3 people
Whisk and then add mustard, then add verjuice and and Olive Oil and whisk until creamy
Taste and add more olive oil to balance if too sour
Season with salt & pepper
At this stage you can add any chopped herbs you have (chervil, chives or parsley are good)
To make 2nd Vinaigrette - In a small bowl, whisk olive oil into balsamic vinegar. It will split, but that’s ok. You can store in a bottle in the fridge, and just shake and use when needed.
Season with pinch of salt, pepper and sugar.
To plate
Place Bresaola on the plate in any design you like.
Dress rocket with pickled onions and place some directly onto the Bresaola
Grate parmesan over rocket
Sprinkle chopped herbs over rocket
Dress leaves with Balsamic vinaigrette, tossing through lightly
Place a small pile of the rocket salad in the middle of the Bresaola, then drizzle mustard vinaigrette around the side over the Bresaola
Finish with some more grated parmesan.
