Recipes
Nordic Olive
An olive from food forests in the north: yes it can be done!
Leek with kombu hollandaise
The turn to fall brings more winter flavors, but with the fresh herbs still around. The sweetness of puffed leeks is complemented by the savory, full-bodied and fresh kombu hollandaise. This seaweed variety, known from dashi, harvested by Emile himself on the coast in his native Brittany. A salty bite comes from the elderberry capers. Pickled unripe elderberries from his own property.
Perfect pairing with Cul Sec's Balade Mineral, due to its fullness, saltiness and unripe fruit.
Taco Sulfur Swamp
The texture of the sulfur mushroom or bush chicken is so firm and meaty that we pair it with Tortilleria Taiyari's fabulous tortillas (Yes, Dutch corn!) A bite like a taco al pastor. The sulfur mushroom is crisply fried in brown butter with thyme. With it "refried" krombek beans. And a salsa verde of the latest summer herbs, with string bean pulp as green flavor. Can be a bit spicy! Fun fact: the corn and the krombek beans come from the same grower: Family Lamers.
Paired with Etable Fumé: smoky hay, but full-bodied fresh, oxidative and earthy.
Pita gray pea gyros
fried gray pea tempeh on a pita with tie garlic sauce
Pumpkin
Pumpkins, some from our own land. Cooked egg yolk from our own chickens. Fresh Dutch lentils from Waldfarming, made with red Verjus from Wijngaard Dassemus in Chaam and herbs from our own land. A dish that symbolizes the transition from late summer to wetter days.
Pork cheek
The Pork Cheek is an underrated piece of the Extraordinary Pigs. In a Jus of its own stew with lavender from Schevichoven. Fresh Dutch lentils from Waldfarming, topped with bay leaf from food forest Fruit Tasting and wild porcini mushrooms. A dish that symbolizes the transition from late summer to wetter days. Full-bodied but still fresh and aromatic.
Paired with Rouge en Voiture: full-bodied, earthy and fruity
