A salad in several shades of green
Mix the Brillat-Savarin and shallots in a bowl, sprinkle with pepper and set aside.
Blanch the vegetables separately in a large saucepan of boiling salted water.
Place them under running water to maintain their colour, dry on a sheet of paper towel, then place in a bowl with the olive oil.
Season to taste and serve the salad in 6 bamboo plates.
Using 2 spoons, make dumplings with the Brillat-Savarin, place the dumplings atop the salad and sprinkle with the chopped chives.
Serve chilled.
Perfect wine pairing

It is the most opulent and fashionable white grape variety around, reflecting today’s style thanks to a perfect, dreamy balance between smoothness, crispness and intense aroma. Perfect Match: Sushi of tuna. A fresh fish prepared in a manner similar to meat, tuna served in sushi is one example of difficult-to-pair foods that Viognier tames easily. Its smoothness enhances the raw fish, and its powerful flavor balances out that of the soy or sesame marinade. A simple, yet sophisticated and very trendy pairing. The perfect accomplice for powerful, contrasting flavors. The proof: with the Crab, Beetroot and Pamplemousse in Aspic, Viognier stands up to the soft bitterness of the grapefruit thanks to its freshness, combining deliciously with the sweetness of the beetroot. Here, of course, the crab plays the role of succulent sidekick.
