Ingredients
  

Asparagus

  • 1 bunch thick green asparagus
  • 1 bunch white asparagus
  • Fresh coarsely ground black pepper to taste
  • Lemon salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Vegetable stock

Green Asparagus Purée

  • Scraps from the trimmed green and white asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Shallot small dice or brunoise
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 4 sprigs lemon thyme leaves picked
  • 1 cups to 1½vegetable stock
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Maldon salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

King Trumpet Mushrooms

  • 8 king trumpet mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 Garlic cloves crushed
  • ½ bunch thyme sprigs
  • Maldon salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Asparagus

  • Trim the woody ends off all the bunches of white and green asparagus and set aside for stock. Then cut about 1 cm worth of thin slices off the remaining asparagus, starting from the trimmed end. Slice until both the white and green asparagus spears reach about 5 inches long.
  • Reserve thin slices for asparagus purée.
  • Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Season the asparagus spears liberally with black pepper and lemon salt. Add the oil to the hot pan and let it start to smoke. Add the asparagus spears in an even layer along with any remaining seasoning from the tray. Sauté for 90 seconds or until the green of the asparagus brightens and the white begins to char. Flip the spears, add the butter, and shake the pan so the butter can melt to the bottom. Let the butter brown and the asparagus spears char for another 90 seconds.
  • Deglaze the pan with vegetable stock. Turn off the heat and place a folded piece of aluminum foil on top of the asparagus to steam for 2 to 5 minutes. Check for doneness with the edge of your knife. If you feel resistance, let the asparagus simmer on low heat for another 2 minutes. If your knife slides through the asparagus fairly easy, remove from heat and reserve for plating.

Green Asparagus Purée

  • Melt the butter in a large, shallow saucepan over mediumlow heat. Add the shallots and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté for 3 minutes or until translucent and slightly tender. Do not get any color on the shallots and garlic. Add the asparagus slices, season with 2 pinches of salt, a dash of pepper, and lemon thyme. Stir together with a wooden spoon and sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the asparagus is softened. Be sure not to get any color on the asparagus. The green asparagus should have a vibrant green color—if it starts to gray it is overcooked. Deglaze the pan with enough vegetable stock to submerge the cooked vegetables and let the liquid come to a simmer. Turn the heat off, cover with a lid, and let rest for 2½ minutes. The asparagus should be soft when pinched between your thumb and finger and tender to the bite. Remove the lid and bring the heat back to medium. Add the cream and bring to a boil for 1 to 2 minutes. The purée will separate if the cream is cold when blending. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
  • Transfer the asparagus mixture to a blender. If you still have a decent amount of cooking liquid in the pan, do not pour all of it into the blender. Reserve to begin and add as needed or you may end up with soup instead. Start blending on low speed, then gradually increase to medium and blend for 1 minute to emulsify all the ingredients. The purée should be silky smooth and hold to the spoon when scooped. Taste and season with more salt as needed. If your purée is not coming together, add a few tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid to the blender to thin it out. If you don’t have extra cooking liquid, use vegetable stock instead. Cool down slightly and pour into an 8-ounce squeeze bottle.

King Trumpet Mushrooms

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over mediumheat. Slice the trumpet mushrooms in ½ lengthwise. Use the tip of a paring knife to score the cut side of the mushrooms on the bias, moving diagonally across the flesh. Repeat the process in the opposite direction to create a crosshatch pattern.
  • Place the mushrooms cut side down in the sauté pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the scored sides start to become golden-brown. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and flip the mushrooms over. Add the garlic and thyme sprigs and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Drain the mushrooms on a plate lined with paper towels.

Lamb stew with horseradish puree and garlic mayonnaise

Lamb stew with horseradish puree and garlic mayonnaise

Print Recipe
Course Main course meat
Cuisine Dutch
Servings 4 pax

Ingredients
  

  • 1,5 kg lamb poulet
  • 5 cloves fermented black garlic
  • Olijfolie
  • 2 trays Tomaat Cherry Sicilië
  • 500 g Aardappelen Dore
  • 1 pot garlic mayonaise
  • 1 Mierikswortel
  • 300 g Knolselderij chopped
  • 100 g Wortelen chopped
  • 1 pot Lamb juice
  • few branches Postelein
  • 1 Citroen grated
  • 1 tblsp Komijnzaad whole seeds
  • 2 tblsp Kerriepoeder
  • 1 tblsp Zonnebloemolie
  • 4 tblsp Tomatenpuree
  • 4 tblsp Poedersuiker
  • 1 dash Gembersiroop
  • 1 brown bread
  • 2 tblsp Bloem

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Sprinkle the lamb poulet with a generous pinch of salt, cumin seeds and curry powder. Mix everything well. Puree the fermented garlic with the sunflower oil into a smooth paste. Add the garlic paste, half of the tomato puree, powdered sugar and a generous dash of ginger syrup to the lamb poulet. The powdered sugar makes the poulet softer and together with the tomato puree provides a nice shine on the meat. Let the meat marinate for 1.5 hours. Cut the crusts off the bread and make 6 equal rectangles (about 7 by 5 cm). Sprinkle the slices with olive oil (alternately). Sprinkle with some pepper and salt. Bake the slices for 12 minutes at 150 degrees. Halve 3 tomatoes per person and dry them in the oven at 80 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. Cook the potatoes until tender, crush them and sieve through a fine sieve. Mix 1 tablespoon of the garlic mayonnaise into the potatoes and grate fresh horseradish to taste.

Preparation of the lamb

  • Heat a dash of oil in a pan and briefly fry the carrot and celeriac. Add the remaining tomato puree and lamb and fry the lamb so that the flavors are released. Add the lamb gravy and a splash of water, so that the meat is just covered. Let the meat stew for 60 minutes. Remove the carrot and celeriac from the pan. Add flour to bind the moisture and let it simmer for another 30 minutes. The lamb is ready when it still has structure and does not look exactly like pulled pork. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of ginger syrup.

Service

  • Place a dash of potato horseradish puree in the center of the plate. Put the brown country bread toast on it. Generously spoon the lamb on the toast. Playfully add a touch of garlic mayonnaise and potato horseradish puree to the lamb meat. Arrange the dried tomatoes and a few watercress or purslane leaves on the meat. Grate a little bit of lemon over it (this removes the heavy from the lamb and smells delicious when serving the dish) and sprinkle the dish with the lamb gravy.

Rhubarber and strawberry cake

Print Recipe
Course Pastry
Cuisine Frans
Servings 2 cakes of 20 cm

Ingredients
  

Pate sucre

  • 300 g pate sucre

Amandel creme

  • 100 g Boter
  • 100 g Basterdsuiker
  • 100 g Ei
  • 100 g Amandelmeel

Taartbodem

  • 200 g Rabarber

Gepocheerde rabarber

  • 500 g Rabarber
  • 500 g aarbeiensap

opmaak

  • 150 g Amandelen
  • 50 g Rabarber
  • 100 g Aardbeien

Instructions
 

Pate sucre

  • Verwarm de oven voor op 160ºC. Rol het deeg uit tot 2 cirkels en laat ze in een ronde vorm zakken. Bak ze ongeveer 15 minuten.

Amandelcreme

  • Laat de boter zacht worden tot een zalfachtige substantie. Meng met de basterdsuiker. Voeg dan de eieren toe, meng goed en voeg dan het amandelmeel toe.

Taartbodem

  • Was de rabarber en snijd in 1 cm lange stukken. Als er draden aan de rabarber zitten, moet je ze eerst schillen.
  • Breng de amandelcreme aan op de gebakken bodem tot een kwart van de rand.
  • Leg hierop de stukje rabarber in concentrische cirkels en bak op 160ºC gedurende 15 minuten.

Gepocheerde rabarber

  • Was de rabarber en snijd hem in stukjes. Doe het aardbeiensap in een pan en kook het. Verlaag het vuur, voeg de rabarber toe en bedek het met bakpapier om alle hitte te behouden. Controleer het koken van de rabarber door het te voelen, het moet gekookt worden terwijl het stevig blijft, anders zal het niet binden.
  • Haal de rabarber uit het sap zodra het gaar is. Snijd de stukjes in stukjes van 6 cm lang, snijd ze in twee schuine kanten en stukken van 2 cm lang. Neem de snippers en bak ze tot je een marmelade krijgt. De kooktijd van rabarber is afhankelijk van de grootte en versheid. Rabarber kan van tevoren worden gekookt en vervolgens gedurende 5 dagen in zijn koude aardbeiensap worden bewaard. Aarzel niet om het aardbeiensap te verwarmen (zonder het opnieuw te koken) als de rabarber te langer moet garen.

Opmaak

  • Verwijder voorzichtig de schil van de amandelen en snijd in stokjes. Was de rabarber, snij in dunne plakjes en driehoeken. Snijd de aardbeien in twee of vier, afhankelijk van hun grootte.

Montage

  • Bedek de basis van de gekookte taart met rabarbermarmelade tot de bovenkant van het deeg.
  • Plaats bovenop de marmelade de rabarberstukken en afgeschuinde stukken, waardoor de taart enige hoogte krijgt. Leg er verse amandelstukjes, aardbeien en rauwe rabarberdriehoeken bovenop.
