Step 1
Add a drizzle of oil to a large pan and place over a high heat. Sear the beef shin on all sides until caramelised. Remove and set aside, then add the chopped vegetables to the pan and allow to caramelise in the residual fat
Step 2
Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside with the shin, deglazing the pan with the red wine. Continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by three-quarters, then add the shin and vegetables back to the pan
Step 3
Cover with the chicken and veal stocks and add the herbs and some seasoning. Turn the heat down very low then allow to simmer gently for 8 hours. After this time, remove from the heat and allow everything to cool in the liquor
Step 4
Meanwhile, blanch the quinoa. Bring a small pan of water to the boil over a medium heat then add both types of quinoa, cook for 2-3 minutes and drain carefully. Set the quinoa to one side, leaving to cool until required
Step 5
Prepare the wild garlic oil by bringing a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanching the wild garlic leaves for 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender with the oil. Blitz everything until smooth and thoroughly combined
Step 6
Line a sieve with a muslin cloth and place over a bowl, pouring the blended oil into the cloth so that it slowly strains through into the bowl below. Once fully strained, transfer to a squeezy bottle and set aside until serving
Step 7
When nearly ready to serve, remove the shin from the cooking liquor and cut the meat from the bone to create 4 portions and set aside. Strain the liquor through a fine sieve into a clean pan and place over a medium-high heat, simmering for 20-30 minutes until reduced to a thick glaze
Step 8
Meanwhile, transfer the blanched quinoa to a wide-bottomed pan with a ladleful of vegetable stock. Place over a medium heat and stir together until most of the stock has been absorbed, then add another ladleful of stock
Step 9
Continuing adding the stock bit by bit Äì as if making a risotto Äì until fully absorbed and the quinoa is soft and cooked through. Stir through the parsley, spring onions and cr?®me fra?Æche and keep warm until ready to serve
Step 10
Once the beef liquor has reduced, add the pieces of shin back into the pan to coat in the glaze and warm through. Place a small pan over a medium heat and wilt the wild garlic leaves with a dash of water for 1Äì2 minutes, finely chopping the reserved stems for garnish
Step 11
To serve, divide the quinoa between serving dishes and top with a piece of the glazed shin. Add a few wilted wild garlic leaves and finish with the chopped wild garlic stems, Parmesan shavings and a drizzle of wild garlic oil
