For the garnish 8 hazelnuts, shelled and halved pine nuts powdered juniper powdered porcini mushrooms catmint leaves radicchio wild lambs lettuce wild salad leaves pomegranate seeds
For the hare Heat the butter with all the flavourings, spices and brandy to 75-80° C in a saucepan. Drop in the salted and peppered fillets and cook them gently for 6-8 minutes. Remove them and leave them to rest in a warm place.
Blend the cugnà with a little cold water, store at room temperature.
Grate the beetroot and cook with water, vinegar and sugar. Drain, recuperate the juice and reduce to a quarter without allowing it to boil (from 200 to 50 g). Set to one side in the fridge.
For the Taggiasca olive oil sauce Blend the oil and olives together and allow to decant, filtering through a strainer.
Use a spoon to create a small strip of cugnà on a plate and place the saddle of hare cut into two parts on it. Unite the olive and beetroot sauces. Decorate with the nuts, pomegranate seeds, powders, herbs and salad leaves.
