  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 35 min
  • Yield: 6 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small pan
  • parchment paper
  • rolling pin
  • tall container
  • electric mixer
  • small pot
  • small glass
  • medium-sized bowl

Ingredients

Units Scale

HAZELNUT BRITTLE

  • 75 grams hazelnuts
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • pinch of salt

CHANTILLY CREAM

  • 100 milliliters heavy cream, cold
  • 25 grams powdered sugar

CHOCOLADE PUDDING

  • 300 milliliters whole-fat milk
  • 200 grams milk chocolate
  • 100 milliliters heavy cream
  • 30 grams white sugar
  • 15 grams cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Hazelnut Brittle: First, finely chop the hazelnuts and set them aside. Next, prepare two sheets of parchment paper. Then, add the sugar and a pinch of salt to a small pan and heat it over medium heat until the sugar starts to become transparent. Once most of the sugar has melted, slowly stir with a spoon until the sugar turns amber. Quickly add 1 tablespoon of butter and stir well. Then, mix in the chopped hazelnuts and pour the entire mixture onto one of the sheets of parchment paper. Place the other sheet of parchment paper on top and roll it flat with a rolling pin. Set it aside to cool. Once the brittle has cooled, you can chop it into small crumbs with a knife or break it down in a food processor. Store it in a bag until ready to use.
  2. Chantilly Cream: In a tall container, whip the cold cream at low speed while gradually adding the powdered sugar. Once the cream starts to thicken, increase the speed to medium and continue whipping until the cream is creamy and stiff. Keep it in the fridge until ready to use.
  3. Chocolate Pudding: In a small pot, combine 2/3 of the milk, cream, sugar (you can skip the sugar if you don’t like it too sweet), and vanilla extract, and heat over medium heat. Meanwhile, finely grate the chocolate. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chocolate until it melts. In a small glass, mix the remaining 1/3 of the milk with the cornstarch until smooth, then pour it into the chocolate pudding and bring it to a boil while stirring. The pudding will thicken as it cooks. You can either serve the pudding warm or pour it into a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let the bowl cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. To serve, spoon the pudding into glasses or bowls, top with 1-1.5 tablespoons of the Chantilly cream, and finish with a tablespoon of the hazelnut brittle.

  • two small pots
  • vegetable peeler
  • medium-sized bowl
  • whisk
  • two mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • mortar & pestle
  • spatula
  • small frying pan
  • spatula

Ingredients

Units Scale

BATTER

  • 90 milliliters full-fat milk
  • 60 milliliters water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp poppyseeds
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 60 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp salz

LEMON PASTRY CREAM

  • 90 milliliters full-fat milk
  • 90 milliliters heavy cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • zest of 1 lemon

BLUEBERRY MERINGUE

  • 2 egg whites
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1.5 tbsp freeze-dried blueberries

BLUEBERRY SAUCE

  • 100 grams frozen blueberries
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • pinch of salt

TOPPINGS

  • fresh blueberries
  • honey

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the blueberry meringue. Preheat the oven to 100°C (212°F) with the fan on. Separate two eggs and place the egg whites into a bowl. Save the yolks for later, as you’ll use them to make the lemon pastry cream. Add a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Measure out the sugar and set it aside in a small bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium to high speed until they start to stiffen. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat the mixture until the egg whites are creamy, firm, glossy, and snow-white.
  2. Prepare the blueberry powder. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder. Gently fold the powder into the egg white mixture using a spatula until the mixture turns a light lavender color.
  3. Shape the meringues. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using two tablespoons, spoon the egg white mixture onto the parchment, forming six individual mounds. Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 2 hours.
  4. Make the crepe batter. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, milk, water, egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and poppy seeds. Stir until smooth, then refrigerate the batter for about 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare the lemon cream. In a small pot, combine milk and cream. Use a peeler to remove large strips of zest from a lemon, ensuring they are big enough to remove later. Heat the pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Heat until it begins to steam. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  6. Mix the lemon pastry cream. In a heatproof glass or metal bowl, combine the reserved egg yolks with flour, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
  7. Combine and cook the cream. Gradually pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Rinse the pot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, then place the bowl with the cream mixture over the pot, creating a double boiler. Heat the mixture to about 78°C (172°F) while stirring continuously, until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Once thickened, remove the bowl from the heat. Cover the cream with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate.
  8. Prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small pot, combine the frozen blueberries with lemon juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Simmer over medium heat until the blueberries release their juices. Set aside.
  9. Cool the meringues. Once the meringues have finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  10. Cook the crepes. Heat a 20cm (8-inch) frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter, then wipe out the excess with a paper towel, leaving only a thin film. Pour about 4 tablespoons of batter into the pan, swirling quickly to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  11. Assemble the dish. Spread lemon pastry cream over each crepe, fold in half, then fold again to form a triangle. Drizzle the blueberry sauce over the crepes, crumble one meringue over each serving, and garnish with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy immediately!

  • potato masher

Ingredients

Units Scale

PORK TENDERLOIN

  • 500 grams pork tenderloin
  • 1 tbsp clarified butter
  • salt

PARMESAN HERB CRUST

  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • 5 grams fresh chives
  • 2.5 grams fresh rosemary
  • 2.5 grams fresh thyme
  • 20 grams parmesan
  • 20 grams panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 10 grams walnuts

POTATO PUREE

  • 1 kilogramm potatoes
  • 150 milliliters full-fat milk
  • 30 grams butter
  • salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste

GREMOLATA

  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 4 tbsp Green Apple Oil
  • juice of half a lemon
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • The pork tenderloin should be at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge about 1 hour before cooking.
  • Here is the recipe for the Green Apple Oil. You’ll need about 4-5 tablespoons of it.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. First, prepare the Parmesan herb crust. Finely chop parsley, chives, rosemary, thyme, and walnuts. Grate the Parmesan finely. Mix everything together with panko, Dijon mustard, and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl until you get a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
  2. Finely chop the parsley and place it in a small bowl. Peel the garlic clove, grate it finely, and add it to the parsley. Halve the lemon and add the juice of one half. Now add the Green Apple Oil and mix everything well. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Next, fill a medium-sized pot with cold water. Peel the potatoes, cut them into large pieces, and place them in the water. Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F. Wash the pork tenderloin and dry it well. Trim the meat, removing the silver skin and any white fat with a sharp knife. Rub a little salt all over the meat and set aside.
  5. Heat some clarified butter in a pan and sear the meat on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the herb crust evenly over the entire meat and press it down well. Place the meat in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches about 55°C / 131°F.
  6. In a small pot or microwave, warm the milk and butter until the butter has melted. Set aside. Once the potatoes are soft, drain the water and pour the warm milk and melted butter over the potatoes. Mash the mixture with a potato masher. Season with salt, white pepper, and grated nutmeg. If you want the mash to be even finer, you can push the potato mixture through a fine sieve. Keep the mashed potatoes warm.
  7. When the meat has reached its internal temperature, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 3-5 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will rise to about 60/61°C /140/142°F, making it tender and slightly pink inside.
  8. While the meat is resting, divide the mashed potatoes among the plates. After the resting time, cut the meat into thick slices with a sharp knife and place them upright next to the mashed potatoes. Spread the gremolata over the mashed potatoes. Finally, drizzle a little Green Apple Oil on the plate for garnish.
