Season each layer with salt and pepper, sprinkle each layer with 1/2 tablespoon of cheese and 1 tablespoon of cream. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Clean, peel and dice the vegetables. Bring vegetable stock to the boil, add vegetables and cook for 6-8 minutes. Take meat out of the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and let it rest. Wash herbs, shake dry, pluck leaves from stems and chop.
