        pn Nutmeg
      1    Long stalk of leek

        pn Salt
    1/2 c  Ice Wine vinegar
      1 tb Fresh cold butter
      4 sl Abraham's Speck
      1 oz Fresh sprouts
 
  Slice the potatoes approx 2 mm on a mandolin and quickly
  blanch in boiling water for approximately 5 seconds.
  
  Place the slices in a mixing bowl and pour over the
  clarified butter as well as the seasoning and mix well.
  
  In a Teflon coated pie mold (4" diameter) start layering
  the slices in a rosette shape until mold is full. Bake
  the potatoes @ 350ºF/175ºC for approx. 20 minutes or
  until soft.
  
  Cut the stalk at an angle into 1/4" thick slices and
  quickly rinse without breaking apart. Pat dry with a
  paper towel. Heat the butter in a skillet and gently
  place the chunks of leek into the skillet. Increase heat
  until the leeks start caramelizing and the butter turns
  brown. Turn leeks over and deglaze with stock. Reduce
  and glaze the leeks. Season to taste.
  
  Dice the Butternut Squash into even cubes and sauté in
  melted butter using a skillet over moderate heat. Season
  with spices and honey and finish until the squash is
  soft. For the emulsion place vinegar in a sauce pan and
  reduce by 1/3 before adding the cold butter and stirring
  sauce until emulsified.
  
  Quickly grill the thinly sliced speck on a char grill.
  
  Carefully turn over the mold with the Ana Potatoes and
  let any excess butter drip off .
  
  Plate off center. Arrange leeks around the Potatoes and
  sprinkle over the spiced Butternut squash.
  
  Serve the grilled Abraham Speck on top of the
  arrangement and drizzle with the Ice Wine Vinegar
  reduction.
  
  Finish with sprouts.
