  1. 1

    For the Gremolata basil, wash, shake dry and pluck the leaves. Wash lemons hot, dry. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon. Halve the fruit, squeeze 1 half. Finely chop the basil, lemon peel and almonds in the universal chopper. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon into large pieces. Peel garlic and chop finely.

  2. 2

    Wash the meat, dab dry, cut in (see tip) and open. Tap the fillets flatter between foil. Approx. 2⁄3 Spread Gremolata on the fillets. Roll up and pin with the wooden skewers.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Clean and wash the cauliflower and divide it into very small florets. Peel the stalk and cut into small pieces. Peel and wash potatoes and cut them into pieces. 2⁄3 Cook the florets, stalk and potatoes in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a pan. Sauté the roulades in it, season with salt and pepper. Take them out, put them in an ovenproof dish and roast them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes. Deglaze the hot frying fat with wine and 1⁄4 l water. Stir in the stock and boil down a little.

  5. 5

    Melt the butter in a pan. Fry the rest of the cauliflower florets for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, lemon pieces and frozen peas and fry for about 5 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Stir starch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth, thicken sauce with it. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. Drain the cauliflower and potatoes, let them evaporate briefly. Add cream, ground almonds and lemon juice and mash everything to puree. Season to taste with salt and nutmeg. Arrange roulades, mashed potatoes, fried vegetables and sauce, sprinkle with remaining Gremolata.
