Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  • Cut the remaining truffles into thin strips and set aside.
  • Heat 30ml of oil in an ovenproof pan and sear the bird skin-side down until golden.
  • Flip the breast and roast in the oven for eight minutes before resting in a warm place.
  • Boil the leeks in salted water for one minute, then refresh in ice water and drain.
  • Boil potatoes for six minutes, add pancetta for two more minutes, then refresh in ice water.
  • Sauté potatoes and pancetta in the remaining oil until golden brown.
  • Stir in leeks, herbs, some truffle strips, and 45ml of water to create a sauce.
  • Emulsify the sauce by melting in the butter and remaining truffles.
  • Service the halved breasts over the potato mixture with truffle butter sauce poured over.
