Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp barley miso
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh root ginger
  • 3 tbsp finely diced yuzu zest (available from specialist suppliers)
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped shallot
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 pinch shichimi pepper
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sake
  • 2 tsp mirin
  • 4 tbsp rice bran oil (available online)
  • 280g/10oz veal
  • 1 red chilli
  • 1 yellow courgette
  • 1 green courgette
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 3 tbsp sushi vinegar
  • ½ ruby grapefruit
  • 5-6 sprigs fresh coriander
  • fresh ginger

Instructions

  • Combine the miso, ginger, yuzu zest, shallot, garlic, shichimi pepper, soy sauce, sake, mirin and oil in a shallow dish.
  • Whisk the marinade together until well combined, then add the veal cutlet to the dish and rub the marinade all over it. Marinade for 24 hours.
  • For the burnt chilli cucumber pickle, blacken the chilli directly over a direct flame (either with a mini-blow torch or simply over the gas hob).
  • Roughly chop the chilli, including the blackened skin and seeds.
  • Cut the courgette on the diagonal, then make three cuts, following the diagonal, 2-3mm apart, but not going all the way through. Make a final cut all the way through - you will have a little fan of courgette. Repeat with the remaining courgettes.
  • Season the sliced courgette with sea salt and allow to stand for a few minutes, just enough to soften. Pour over the sushi vinegar.
  • Combine the red chilli, courgette, ruby grapefruit segments and coriander in a small bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and preheat a griddle to hot.
  • Griddle the veal cutlets on each side until browned. Transfer to a roasting tray and roast for about six minutes, turning once in the oven.
  • Allow the veal cutlets to rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Squeeze a little ginger juice over the resting cutlet and serve with the burnt chilli cucumber pickle.
