Pommes pavés

Servings 6 personen

Ingredients
  

  • 2,5 dl slagroom
  • Grof zout en versgemalen zwarte peper
  • 1,5 kg grote aardappelen indien mogelijk drie aardappelen van 500 gram
  • 5 eetlepels ongezouten boter 1 eetlepel zacht en 4 eetlepels in blokjes van 1 cm gesneden
  • Koolzaadolie
  • 2 verse takjes tijm
  • 2 teentjes knoflook met schil licht geplet
  • Gehakte verse bieslook

Instructions
 

  • Verwarm de oven voor op 180℃.
  • Giet room in een grote kom; breng op smaak met 1 theelepel zout en 1/2 theelepel peper. Aardappels schillen. Snijd alle kanten van een aardappel af om een rechthoekige vorm te krijgen. Zet een mandoline op een kom room en snij de aardappel, beginnend met de platte kant van de aardappel, in de lengte in zeer dunne plakjes. Gooi aardappelschijfjes af en toe in room om te voorkomen dat ze oxideren. Herhaal het proces met de resterende aardappelen.
  • Bestrijk een bakblik van 25 bij 12,5 bij 7 cm hoog met de helft van de zachte boter. Bekleed de vorm met bakpapier en laat aan alle kanten een overhang van 12,5 cm over. Bestrijk perkamentpapier met de resterende zachte boter en bestrooi met zout en peper.
  • Snijd plakjes af om een gelijkmatige laag op de bodem van de pan te vormen; herhaal het proces om een tweede laag te vormen. Stip met een paar blokjes boter; breng op smaak met zout en peper. Ga door met het in lagen leggen van aardappelen en voeg boter en kruiden toe na elke twee lagen totdat de pan gevuld is. Vouw de zijkanten van bakpapier over de aardappelen. Dek de pan goed af met aluminiumfolie en plaats in de oven.
  • Bak tot de aardappelen helemaal gaar zijn als je er met de punt van een scherp mes in prikt, ongeveer 1 uur en 50 minuten. Haal uit de oven en laat 15 minuten afkoelen. Knip een stuk karton iets kleiner dan de grootte van de pan; inpakken met aluminiumfolie. Leg in folie verpakt karton op de aardappelen en verzwaar ze met zware blikken; laat de aardappelen afkoelen tot kamertemperatuur. Verwijder gewichten en wikkel de pan stevig in. Koel aardappelen minimaal 6 uur of maximaal 2 dagen.
  • Om te serveren, laat u een offset spatel tussen het perkamentpapier en de pan lopen om los te laten. Gebruik de overhang van perkamentpapier om de pave voorzichtig uit de pan te tillen of om te keren op een snijplank. Snijd de zijkanten van de plaveisel af en snij in stukken van 2,5 cm breed; laat 30 minuten op kamertemperatuur staan.
  • Verhit een grote koekenpan op middelhoog vuur; voeg voldoende koolzaadolie toe om te coaten. Voeg als de olie heet is de aardappelen toe, met de gesneden kant naar beneden, samen met tijm en knoflook. Bak, bedruip met olie, tot ze aan de eerste kant bruin zijn. Keer voorzichtig en bruin aan de andere kant.
  • Leg de aardappelen op een serveerschaal en leg ze met de gebruinde kant naar boven. Leg op elk een klein stukje boter en bestrooi met bieslook. Serveer.

  • 240 g sugar fine granulated sugar
  • 1 dl water
  • 360 g butter soft
  • 20 g instant coffee
  • 1 cup espresso

Glaze

  • 800 g chocolate 52%
  • 100 g palm oil
  • 100 g peanut oil

Instructions
 

Joconde Biscuit

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C, hot air setting.
  • Place the egg, egg yolks, ground almonds and sugar in the mixing bowl of a standing mixer. Beat on high speed, 15 minutes, and pour the batter into a bowl.

Merengue for the joconde batter

  • Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually add the sugar.

Continue joconde batter

  • Add the merengue to the batter. First stir in a quarter well and then carefully fold in the rest.
  • The batter is enough for 2 cakes of 30x40 cm. Prepare 3 baking trays of 30x40 cm per cake with baking paper. Pour half of the batter over three baking trays. Level with a palette knife and bake in an oven. If you're doing a few at a time, swap them halfway through the baking time. Bake for a total of 10-12 minutes. Bake the second pie in the same way. You can let the cake cool and freeze it for later use.

Syrup

  • Make the coffee and mix in the sugar and liqueur.

Ganache

  • Bring the milk and cream to the boil together. Pour the milk in dashes over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is absorbed. Then add the softened butter little by little and stir well. Then set aside.

Butter cream

  • Place the water and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook to 118°C.
  • When the water is 110°C, beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Then slowly add the sugar mixture while the mixer is running. Run the mixer until the meringue is at room temperature.
  • Beat egg yolks on high speed in stand mixer.
  • Place the water and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook to 118°C.
  • Then slowly pour in the water-sugar mixture while the mixer is running. Run the mixer until the mixture is white and slowly runs off the whisk.
  • Add the softened butter little by little and beat until all the butter is incorporated and you have a smooth cream.
  • Add the egg yolk mixture to the butter and mix on low speed until the cream is fluffy.
  • Add the cold meringue. First 1/4 and stir this well. Then the rest and carefully fold it in.
  • Cover the cream with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
  • Then add the instant coffee and espresso and stir well.

Glaze

  • Melt the chocolate in a bain marie and mix with the two types of oil until the temperature is 35-40°C.

Compiling Opera

  • Place a cake board on a baking tray covered with baking paper and place the metal baking edge on top. If you don't have it, you can do without. The cake will then become less tight on the sides, which you can correct later with a knife.
  • Place a biscuit layer in the baking edge and brush it with the coffee syrup. Do this with all biscuit layers. The cake should be well soaked. If you press it with your finger, some moisture should come up.
  • Spread about 250 g of buttercream on the biscuit with a small palette knife.
  • Cover the cream with the second layer of biscuit. Spread the ganache on top. If the ganache has cooled down too much, it can no longer be spread, then you have to heat it au bain marie until it is syrupy liquid.
  • Place the third biscuit layer on top of the ganache and add about 250 g of buttercream again. Smooth out nicely with a palette knife.
  • Then put the cake in the fridge and let it set for at least 1 hour.
  • Remove the baking edge and pour the icing over the cake and smooth. Then let it set in the fridge for a few minutes.
  • Cut the cake into pieces with a sharp knife. Rinse the knife under the hot tap after each cut.

Gougieres

Servings 50 pieces

Ingredients
  

Gougieres

  • 150 g of milk
  • 150 g water
  • 120 g butter
  • 20 g salt
  • 20 g sugar
  • 160 g flour
  • 1 tsp teaspoon mustard powder
  • 5 pieces eggs
  • a little grated cheese

Mornay sauce

  • 200 g milk
  • 25 g butter
  • 60 g flour
  • 2 pcs egg yolks
  • 250 g grated Comté cheese
  • fine salt

Instructions
 

Gougieres

  • Heat the milk, water, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan. While cooking, add the flour and mustard powder. Mix well and beat vigorously with a whisk. Continue until the dough forms a ball and a white "carpet" appears on the bottom of the pan. Let it boil for a while, keep stirring, on a low heat until the flour is done (when the dough no longer smells like flour). Then turn off the heat and continue with the eggs, see below.
  • Continue mixing the dough with slow stirring to cool it down a bit. Add the eggs one at a time. Regularly scrape the edge of the bowl so that all ingredients mix well. When the dough is smooth and shiny, put it in a bag.
  • Preheat the oven to 185°C.
  • Pipe profiteroles of about 9 g on a baking tray lined with baking paper or a Silpat® mat. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for 16 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking, otherwise the profiteroles will lose their volume. Let rest for 10 minutes and then poke holes in the bottom of the puffs to fill with the sauce.

Mornay sauce

  • Bring the milk to the boil in a saucepan. Melt the butter in another pan and, when it starts to sizzle, add the flour all at once. Mix with a whisk. Cook the white roux for a few minutes, being careful not to let it discolour. Let cool and pour the boiling milk over the cold roux while whisking. Bring everything to a boil and cook for a few minutes to thicken the sauce. Remove from the heat, add salt and add the egg yolks and Comté. Let cool and store in a piping bag.
  • Finish off
  • After cooling, fill the profiterole with the Mornay sauce. Serve warm.

Coteletta alla Milanese e gremolata

Servings 4 persons

Ingredients
  

cutlets

  • 4 pieces veal chops
  • 4 pieces eggs beaten
  • 300 g breadcrumbs
  • 200 g clarified butter

Gremolata

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 bunch parsley finely chopped
  • 0.5 pieces zest lemon grated

Instructions
 

Gremolata

  • Make the gremolata by mixing the garlic, parsley and lemon zest. For a paste you do this in a mortar, for somewhat rougher gremolata just mix with a fork. Then set aside.

cutlets

  • Cut the meat from the bone to the base. Scratch the membranes off the bone with a sharp knife. Place the cutlets between a piece of baking paper. Gently beat them flat with a meat mallet or meat axe. Then dip them in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. Press down well with your fingertips and repeat all over again.
  • Melt the clarified butter in a large skillet until hot. Fry the cutlets over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are a nice golden brown color and the meat is still pink. While baking, always spoon some butter over the bone (arrosion). Remove from the pan, set aside warm without covering (this will soften the crust) and cook the rest.
  • Before serving, sprinkle with some fleur de sel and serve with a lemon wedge and the gremolata. You can serve with baked potatoes and some lettuce if you like.
