Directions

  1. 1

    Peel, wash and halve the potatoes and cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and swivel them dry on the still hot stove. Press them through a potato ricer.

  2. 2

    Stir in 3 egg yolks and 5 tablespoons of milk, season to taste with salt and nutmeg. Pour into a piping bag with a large star-shaped spout and squirt about 16 duchess potatoes onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

  3. 3

    Whisk 1 egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of milk. Carefully brush the potatoes with it. Put in a cool place. Defrost puff pastry at room temperature. Clean savoy cabbage, remove outer leaves. Remove 4 large leaves from the head, cut thick veins flat and blanch in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Take out and let drain. Wash the meat, dab dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan. Brown the meat thoroughly all around for about 5 minutes, remove. Wrap with bacon and savoy cabbage leaves.

    Place puff pastry slices on top of each other and roll out thinly to a rectangle (approx. 25 x 35 cm) on a floured work surface. Wrap the meat in the puff pastry, brush thinly with the remaining egg yolk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  6. 6

    Cook in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 20 minutes. Cut the remaining savoy cabbage into coarse cubes from the stalk. Peel onion and cut into strips. Heat the fat in a saucepan.

  7. 7

    Sauté onion until translucent. Add the savoy cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Pour on the stock. Steam in closed pot for about 8 minutes. Take the meat out, wrap in aluminium foil and let it rest. Bake potatoes in the oven at the same temperature for 10-15 minutes.

  8. 8

    Pour red wine and 100 ml water into the pan, dissolve the frying set, bring to the boil. Stir starch and 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Stir into the sauce, bring to the boil again. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
