Towers

1. Mix the spices and oil. Brush the beetroot and celeriac with mixture, wrap separately in alu paper and cook for approx 60 min in a preheated oven at 150°C / 300 °F. Test their readiness with the point of a knife.
2. Cut the celeriac and truffles into cubes 15mm in length by 5mm thick. Shape 8 towers.
3. Cut a few thin slices from the remaining beetroot. Mix the rest, then pass through a sieve. The puree will be used to mould the quark quenelles.
4. Finely chop the remaining truffles, form 3 equal portions and reserve.

Perigord truffles sauce

1. Briefly sweat 2/3 of the chopped truffles in butter.
2. Deglaze with both the chicken and Madeira wine stock and the veal stock. Bring to the boil and remove from heat.

Finishing

1. Fry the cod filets in a mix of sunflower oil and butter. Season whilst cooking.
2. Place the fine slices of beetroot on the plates and cover with the cod filets. Top with two quenelles.
3. Roast the toast bread in butter then mix with the remaining chopped truffles. Set the towers and top with sauce. Spread over the quenelles.
