Method

Deer stew:

Mix all ingredients and put this in a vacuum bag with the deer concoction. Cook sous vide at 64°C for 15 hours. Bake just as nicely.

Pommes fondant:

Turn the potatoes and place them flat side down in a non-stick pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the bacon and thyme. Fill the pan with water to just above the potato. Bring to a boil, boil dry and cook for another minute.

Vegetable garnish:

Cut the parsnip à brunoise and stew it in butter with a little water. Turn on the lamb's ears and the shallot. Mix together and season to taste.

Celeriac cream:

Cook the celeriac sous vide with cream, salt and pepper at 73°C. Puree with the chocolate and rub through a hair sieve. Garnish on the plate with black salt.

Spring onion:

Blanch the spring onion including carrots. Dip the carrots in flour and fry until crispy and golden brown. Burn the stem with a gas burner and top with olive oil and smoked salt.

Amsterdam onion and honey sauce:

Put the onions in the clarified butter. Add the honey and vinegar. Reduce to syrup thickness and then add the stock. Reduce to the desired taste and thickness and finish with salt and pepper.

Beemster cheese crispy:

Finely grate the cheese with the microplane and spread on a baking mat. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes at 150°C and then cut strips of 2.5 cm wide. Heat again and shape the strip around a cutting ring. Top it all off with Scarlet Cress.
