Directions

Cook the veal loin over a low heat (61 degrees Celsius, if possible, by using the sous-vide method) for 12 hours until it softens. To make the sauce, sauté the flour and the onions, add the thyme, sauté for 5 minutes, and pour over the stock. Cook and reduce to the desired texture. Add salt and pepper to taste. To make the gnocchi, cook and purée the potatoes, sieve the cottage cheese and add it to the potatoes. Stir in the melted butter, flour, salt, wild garlic and egg. Knead the mixture and make the gnocchi. Cook them in salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Peel the carrot and cook it in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes. In another small saucepan, heat the butter and sauté the carrot.
