1 knob of butter

Carve the breasts away from the carcass and remove the skin. Lay the sliced mushrooms on top of the breasts. Trim the edges with a sharp knife and place on a cooling rack

Boil the green beans in a pan of water. Let down half of the Jerusalem artichoke purée with a little milk, season and then add a dash of vegetal powder. Bring to the boil and then quickly pour over each breast in one smooth motion

To assemble, place a small amount of purée on each plate, quarter the baby globe artichokes and dress with a little olive oil. Arrange with the green beans, sautéed shitake mushrooms and sliced truffle. Place the partridge breast on top and finish with a dash of truffle vinaigrette
