Method
For the Andalusian sugar cane molasses lacquer: crush 2 black garlic cloves together with the chicken broth, strain it and give it a pinch of salt. Put the Andalusian sugar cane molasses in a saucepan together with the lime juice and reduce to three quarters. Add the chicken stock and black garlic, and reduce the mixture by half.
For the joint of meat: sear the joint on the grill. Put in a vacuum bag together with Extra Virgin olive oil and salt. Place in a water bath for 30 min. at 65º C.
Final step: cut the joint of meat into four regular pieces, put it in the saucepan and gradually coat it with the lacquer, until a thin film is obtained.
Plating: On a flat plate, arrange a spoonful of the Andalusian sugar cane molasses juice, place the joint on top and finish with a small salad of seasoned micro-vegetables and a black garlic.
