    Calf's Cheek in Aglianico Jus

    for 2 people (or me  ;D)

    Ingredients

    2 calf cheeks
    1 bottle of Aglianico wine or a really full bodied red
    Celery, carrots, onions (the classica sauce)
    Bouquet garni or mixed aromatic herbs
    Pepper
    Star anise
    EV Olive oil
    Basil

    All you need to do:

    Put the extra virgin olive oil, the celery, the carrots and the onions in a pan and brown this mixture

    Add the calf's cheeks and the garni and anise

    Cover the meat with the Aglianico wine sauce and cover the pan with clingfilm

    Put on a low heat at 50-60°C for at least 4 hours

    Rest meat for a few minutes and strain the wine sauce for serving

    I am going to have some basil mash and sauteed carrot ribbons with it . . . but it's really nice with cabbage or whatever takes your fancy really

    classico

    browning the meat

    not the best pics - but hopefully you get the idea

    finished article in a couple of hours

            yeah - it's traditionally served with tatties and i'm using king edwards for the mash . . . but you might prefer another type

            or you could go for some nice jersey royals, crushed with olive oil, black pepper and spinach

            btw . . . sorry i missed your call, was doing this and getting ripped into some nice barolo (hic)

                      That wine looks brilliant though… Oh: and I always mix up Barollo and Barolo...  😠

                        Calf cheeks, huh? Can't say I've ever had those.  What's the flavor/texture like?  Seems like it would be tough and need to be cooked a long time to tenderize.  Sounds tasty, though.

                                and there it was . . .

                                shredded some carrot and flash fried in olive oil and garlic, strained the sauce and added some butter to give a gloss, and mashed the spuds with some basil and black pepper

                                1 spare portion left for the lovely Mrs G and a glass of Barolo to wash it down  😘 😘 😘

                                Chris - you'll see from the recipe i've cooked the cheeks for about 4 hours at 60C . . . so super tender (as all meat would be with that process) and as G said, the meat is very sweet, extremely tasty

                                there's probably about a days worth of calories in that plate . . . proper food

                                      @Geo:

                                      Discovered this on a trip to Alba, Italy. Our Italien host is from this village and he proudly proclaimed it the best wine in the world. Wouldn't go that far but it was good. Good enough to leave us with black teeth at the end of a rather hazy evening involving this wine and some sort of italien homemade brandy/moonshine. Enjoy anyway Geo 😉

                                        well depends on the barolo bertoni - but that was a big call regardless

                                        but black teeth and a drunken haze . . . that's my journey tonite

                                        and if you need to know - this is the best wine in the world . . .  😉
