Roe fillet with black nuts

January 8th, 2019 | main dishes

Roe fillet or venison saddle in this recipe is seared and served with parsley roots, chanterelles, black walnuts and aromatic pears. There is a potato and celery puree, a sauce of game stock and a béchamel sauce. A perfect plate!

Our forester brought us meat from the fawn. And we finally wanted to try the black walnuts. A product that we did not even know before. I took notice of it on Instagram and was very curious. The combination deer and black nut is simply stunning!

The black walnut is not exotic, but a walnut grown and refined in Germany. In a very complex process, unripe walnuts are processed over several weeks with water and sugar syrup and then stored for about half a year. I cannot help advertising for the company Kauzenberg in Bietigheim-Bissingen in Baden-Württemberg. It is a small family business that sells the black nuts online in dried form or in jars in syrup. A really exciting product the Weipprecht family from Kauzenberg is manufacturing.

By the way: The black nut syrup is ideal for salad dressings. This results in a unique flavor for all winter salads!

The recipe for the game stock used in the recipe can be found here.

Pescado a la Veracruzana – Mexican tuna

In times when we cannot travel due to the corona pandemic, why not bring a holiday feeling on our plate at home! Last weekend we were on a short culinary trip in Mexico, more precisely in Veracruz on the east coast of Mexico. A wonderful tuna fish with a fiery, colorful sauce awaited us and it was as if we were listening to the sounds of marimba and mariachi in the humid, warm evening air… Viva México!

Tonka bean mousse with blood orange ragout

In five days is Valentine’s Day! Unfortunately, my dearest captain is not ashore. But if he were there, I would spoil him with this dessert: It comes along in three layers: a blood orange ragout, seasoned with grenadine, a quark yoghurt mousse flavored with tonka beans, and topped with deep-fried wonton strips and salted caramel. A dessert that sparkles in your mouth, and certainly enchants your sweetheart!

The risotto secret

Risotto for guests is not possible. I always thought. You have to stir constantly, add liquid, it must not boil down, must be cooked to the point – that means “al dente”. Too stressful when the guests are already in the kitchen. But that’s not true. The well-known TV and cruiseship chef, Franz Schned, told me how to do it. Risotto, completely relaxed…
