Steps

  • Prepare plates with flour, beaten eggs, and crushed panko breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each mutton chop in flour, egg, and then breadcrumbs, then set aside.
  • Boil 600ml of cream in a saucepan, season with salt and white pepper, and remove from heat.
  • Layer overlapping potato and turnip slices in an ovenproof dish, sprinkling garlic between layers.
  • Pour the warm cream over the vegetables and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Press the layers down with a fish slice and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Continue baking until tender and golden, then let cool slightly.
  • Whisk duck egg, dijon, vinegar, salt, sugar, mustard powder, and paprika.
  • Slowly stir in olive oil to emulsify, then fold in cornichons, capers, and parsley.
  • Fry mutton chops in oil for 3 minutes per side, adding butter and lemon juice to baste.
  • Drain chops on paper and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Dry-fry mutton trimmings in a saucepan until the fat melts and bits are crisp.
  • Add onions and salt to the trimmings, cover, and cook until softened.
  • Stir in the cabbage and cook covered until wilted.
  • Serve two chops with cabbage, sauce gribiche, and a side of gratin.
