Raclette & Wine

• 400g Grüner Spargel
• 100g Rucola
• 400g Putenbrustfilets
• 200g Kirschtomaten
• 4 Eier
• 1 EL Basilikum-Pesto
• 1TL Butter
• 2 EL Olivenöl
• 2 EL Weißwein-Essig
• etwas Salz, Pfeffer

Peel the lower third of the asparagus and cut off the ends. Cut the spears in half and cook in boiling salted water with 1 tsp butter for approx. 7 mins. Set the asparagus water aside.

Cook the eggs until almost firm (the yolk should still be a little soft), peel and cut into quarters. Cut the turkey breast fillet into strips.

Fry the pine nuts briefly without fat in a non-stick pan. Then add a little fat directly to the pan and fry the turkey breast strips. Then keep them warm.

Mix the pesto with the white wine vinegar, 5 tbsp of the asparagus water, the olive oil and salt and pepper in a salad bowl to make a dressing.

Wash the rocket and add to the dressing. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl. Mix in the asparagus and turkey. Finally, garnish with the quartered eggs and pine nuts.</p

<p>This goes well with freshly baked ciabatta bread.

Wine recommendation:

A light Rivaner from the last harvest, fresh as spring, with delicate flavours.

• Müller-Thurgau (brut)

• 4 Stück Lammlachse à 150 g
• 4 Scheiben Bacon
• 0,1 Liter Wein
• 0,3 Liter Gemüsebrühe
• 1 kleine Schalotte
• 20 Gramm Butter
• 4 EL Olivenöl
• je 2 Zweige Thymian, Rosmarin, Salbei
• nach Geschmack Salz & Pfeffer

Season the lamb salmon with pepper and massage 2 tbsp of olive oil into the meat. Finely chop the thyme, rosemary and sage and season the meat in the herbs. Marinate in the fridge for a few hours.

<p>Wrap the meat with the bacon slices and sear on all sides in the remaining olive oil. Continue to cook for approx. 4 minutes on each side over a low heat (the cooking time depends on the thickness of the lamb loin - it is best to do a pressure test). Then wrap in aluminium foil and leave to rest in the oven at 80 °C – so they remain juicy and slightly pink on the inside.

This goes well with Bärlauch risotto.

• Dornfelder (trocken)

• 12 Stück Rehmedaillions (a 80g)
• 30 Gramm gebratene Speckstreifen
• 200 ml Bechamelsauce
• 3 EL Sonnenblumenöl
• 8 kleine Petersilienwurzeln mit Grün (alternativ Knollensellerie)
• 6 - 8 breite Schnippelbohnen
• 1 große Birne
• 4 - 6 schwarze Walnüsse
• 100 ml Wildfond
• 2 EL Butter
• 2 Stängel glatte Petersilie
• nach Geschmack Salz

Preheat the oven to 180 °C top and bottom heat. Clean, peel and trim the parsley roots. Clean the beans and cut into diagonal pieces. Blanch the parsley roots and beans separately in boiling salted water and rinse immediately in iced water.

Cut the walnuts into eighths and warm in the game stock. Wash the unpeeled pear, cut into eighths, remove the core and cut into thin slices. Fry the venison medallions on both sides in oil, then finish cooking in the oven for approx. 3 - 5 minutes.

In the meantime, toss the beans and parsley roots in melted butter and season with salt. Arrange the vegetables with the black walnuts and pear slices on large plates. Place the medallions on top, garnish with game stock, Béchamel sauce and bacon strips.

Tip: You can make your own black walnuts. To do this, prick the walnuts all over with a fork or skewer and place in water for 10 days. Change the water every day so that the tannic acid can drain off. Boil the nuts 3 times in salted water until they are deep black. Simmer with bay leaves and peppercorns for approx. 20 minutes until soft. Layer in preserving jars and cover with syrup. The nuts can be kept for approx. 1 year.
