 METHOD
 
CREAMY INGREDIENTS
  1. Cut the vegetables in brunoise. Gently heat the onion, carrot and the other vegetables in oil in a pot with the laurel and thyme. Do NOT brown the vegetables.
  2. Once tender, add the beef cheek (seasoned with salt and pepper) on top and cover with red wine and beef stock. Put a lid on the pot.
  3. Cook the beef cheek for four hours on a low heat.
  4. Once tender, remove and strain the sauce; reduce and set the sauce aside once it has reached a demi-glace form.
 
IDIAZÁBAL CHEESE BECHAMEL
 
  1. Cook the flour in butter in a pot, stirring regularly. Once lightly toasted, slowly add in the milk while continuing to stir the mixture.
  2. When the bechamel is ready, remove it from the heat and grate the cheese into it immediately.
  3. Set aside 250 g to mix with the meat to make the cannelloni filling and set aside.
 
HAZELNUT CRUMBLE
  1. Whisk the ingredients together until lumps form (or do the same manually, but do not knead).
  2. Roll out on baking paper; ensure there are lumps. Bake for some 10 minutes at 170º - crumble the mixture as necessary.
 
SERVING
  1. Cover the cannelloni with bechamel and heat up.
  2. Place on a crumble base.
  3. Sprinkle with 'idiazábal' and add pieces of hazelnut on top.
  4. Finish off with a thread of demi-glace.
