00:02on a fondant potato, where these medallions

00:04are roasted at a really high heat in a shallow broth

00:09Kind of marvelous how creamy and delicate they become

00:12while still holding their shape

00:14and getting that roasted crust on top.

00:15This recipe is particularly special

00:17because of the spicy, sweet flavor combo.

00:23and the chili crisp that goes on top

00:24and a candied pecan garnish.
