Ingredients

Fillet of Sturgeon - 17.6 oz
Potato - 17.6 oz
Pickled Cauliflower - 8.8 oz
Cucumbers - 8.8 oz
Romaine lettuce - 8.8 oz
Apple - 10.6 oz
Citrus Zest Mix - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil the beef shank in a small amount of water. Once it reaches a boil, lightly salt the water, and add a bay leaf, onion, and carrot. Simmer for 1.5 hours, occasionally tasting the meat: the shank should be very tender when done. Shred the boiled beef into strands, and mash the meat with a fork or spoon.

Step 2

Boil the potatoes in salted water along with a wedge of lemon — this will prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy and make them easier to cut. Once cooled, dice the potatoes, fresh cucumbers, and pickles into small cubes.

Step 3

For the dressing, finely dice half of the apples. Combine the beef with horseradish, mustard, sour cream, and the diced apples.

Step 4

Combine the potatoes and cucumbers with the dressing. Serve the salad on individual plates.

Step 5

Cut the herring into small pieces and place them on top of the salad. Add romaine lettuce, thinly sliced apple, and lightly toasted pine nuts. Grate the lemon zest.
