Sweet Potato Fondant

2. Baste the potatoes with the foaming butter, turning them over until golden brown on both sides. Put the fondants in the deep tray and cover with an aluminium foil.
3. Cook it at 180*C in the oven until soft but not braking apart.

Carrot puree
1. Place the chopped carrots in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook
for around 15-20 minutes until soft.
2. Drain the excess liquid and place the carrots into a food processor. Purée it until smooth, adding the diced butter. Season to taste.

Asparagus & carrots
1. Trim and blanch asparagus tips and carrots in the salty boiled water for two minutes and sauté with a little olive oil on the hot pan for another one minute.

Honey & thyme jus
1. Combine red wine, thyme and veal stock in a pan and reduce by about two thirds until it has a thin gravy-like consistency, discard the thyme sprig, then stir in honey.

To finish
1. Place chicken in the middle of the plate. Add the fondant then spoon a bit of carrot puree. Add baby carrot and
asparagus tips.
2. Finish by drizzling the honey jus over the chicken. Garnish over with the micro herbs and serve
immediately.
