Bazas Prime Rib

Heat a very hot pan with sunflower oil and sear the rib on each side for 8-10 minutes. Let it rest.

When reheating in the oven, top with a slice of compound butter.

Serve with the potato cakes, Guérande salt and mignonette pepper in a ramekin, garnished with a bay leaf and rosemary sprig.

Charlotte Potato Cakes with Sweet Red Onions

Finely chop the red onions, blanch in salted boiling water, rinse, and let cool.

Peel and cut Charlotte potatoes into thin strips using a mandoline or food processor.

Beat the eggs, then mix in the whipping cream, coriander powder, chopped chives, salt, and pepper.

Butter 8 cm circles and place on baking paper.

Layer potatoes, egg mixture, onions, and dots of butter; repeat until molds are full.

Bake at 180°C until golden and tender. Keep warm.

Unmold onto plates or serve in small ramekins to accompany the prime rib.
