Medium
  • We season the cheeks with salt and pepper, dust them with flour, and fry them in a pot with a little oil. After frying, we remove them and set them aside. In the same pot, we add the chopped vegetables, which we will sauté, then add the wine and a little water to cover. We reintroduce the cheeks and let them simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
  • Now let's make the Avocado Puree: Boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, we pass them through a potato ricer and add finely chopped green onion, lemon juice, avocado, and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper, and mixing very well until everything is smooth. As you can see, I left the avocado slightly chunky; I prefer it that way and it’s ready. When the cheeks are ready, we prepare to serve them alongside the vegetables and the puree.
