Method

Serve the cheeks topped with a slice of the chilled relish.

Dredge ox cheeks in flour and fry in oil in a casserole dish until golden-brown.

Remove meat, add vegetables to the dish, and cook for 3 minutes.

Pour in wine, scrape the bottom of the pan, then add stock and bring to a boil.

Return meat to the dish and simmer for up to 3 hours until tender.

Remove meat and boil the sauce for 5 minutes to thicken.

Strain the sauce and return the ox cheeks to it.

Blend relish ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

Roll the relish butter in clingfilm and chill in the fridge.
