The recipe progression

For the presentation, put a piece of carica on the venison medallion. Next to it, superimpose the yucca twigs. Add the chocolate sauce.

The Chef's comments and advices
The slight chocolate bitterness goes well with the game and the sweetness of carica. Use the white pepper. Plan 4 cassava per person. The best moment to salt your meat is during the cooking.
Before the cooking, the water goes out because of the salt so the blood escapes.
