Step-by-step
- In a large mixing bowl combine the veal with the shallots, chilli, capers & black pepper, follow with the oils & mix altogether with tender care.
- Season with the lemon juice & salt to taste with the salt, noting that you should air to adding more than normal
- Divide your tartare into 4 little piles, take a small bowl that will just about fit each portion & line it with a slice of Parma hang leaving an overlap on both sides.
- Gently press in the veal mixture & fold the ham over the top, turn out, with the overlap side face down on the plate
- Dress the leaves in a bowl taking the same care with them as you would washing baby as they damage easily, dress them in salt, lemon juice olive oil & place about 6 lambs lettuces around each plate of tartare.
- Arrange 3 long shavings of parmesan on top of the Parma ham.
