Smoked & Confit Pig Jowl, Shiitake, Shaved Sea Scallop, Jerusalem Artichoke Leaves, Juniper, Bay

The pork jowl is initially steamed in salted chicken stock for eight hours. It is then cold smoked over maple wood chips and finally confit in an infused jamon, bay and juniper butter. The fresh shiitake are peeled and shaved by hand across the mushroom. The shiitake are sautéed in infused butter to re-emphasise the fragrance of the juniper
