Let the florets cool and then wrap them with a
layer of minced meat. Place them in a
preheated oven at 185°C for 25 minutes. Let
them rest covered for ten minutes outside the
oven.
Make the sauce. Melt the mascarpone over
low heat and mix with grated emmenthaler and
Gruyere cheese. Add a generous splash of dry
white wine and a few tablespoons of tomato
paste.
Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of allspice
d'Espelette.
Halve the cauliflower balls. Serve them on a
mirror of sauce with potato wedges fried in
goose fat, grilled tomato slices, crispy fried
pancetta and a fresh mixed salad.
