Sustainability tips to make your ingredients go further • The trimmings from ‘Beef carpaccio with spring onion, caramelised mustard seeds and kimizu’ can be used to make this dish. • Any remaining fat can be used in many other dishes, such as roast potatoes.

If you don’t have leftover beef trimmings or fat, increase the butter by 20 g. • If you render more than 20 g of beef fat, you can add more to this recipe, however, make sure to reduce the butter by the same amount to maintain the fat ratio. 150 g beef fat trimmings, cut into small pieces 125 ml (½ cup) cream 110 g unsalted butter 60 ml (¼ cup) water 60 ml (¼ cup) corn syrup 1 cup (220 g) caster sugar ½ tsp salt flakes Cooking programme Induction Serves 6 Preparation time 20 minutes, plus setting time Cooking time 2 hours 30 minutes CHEWY CARAMEL
