Mixed Drinks with Wine and Sekt

• 2 Stück Eigelb
• 60 ml Ziegenmilch
• 500 Gramm weiße Kuvertüre
• 125 ml Sahne
• Abrieb und Saft einer halben Orange
• 2 cl Tresterbrand
• 8 Blatt Minze
• 125 Gramm Mehl

Semi-frozen goat's milk: Beat the egg yolks and goat's milk in a bowl over a hot bain-marie until creamy. Remove from the bain-marie and beat the cream until cold. Flavour with the zest of the orange and the marc brandy.

Liquefy the couverture in a bain-marie and stir into the lukewarm egg mixture. Whip the cream until stiff and carefully fold in. Line a parfait tin (triangular or gutter shape) with cling film. Pour in the mixture and smooth out. Cover well with cling film and leave to freeze in the freezer for at least 8 hours.

About 20 minutes before serving, remove the mould from the freezer and turn the parfait out of the mould. Remove the foil and cut the semi-frozen parfait into 8 slices.

<p>Lavender wafers: Lightly mash the butter in a mixing bowl with a fork. Add the sugar and stir a little. Add half of the milk, the lavender sugar and the baking powder. Stir in the eggs and finally the rest of the milk. Mix everything well with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes to create a homogeneous, slightly liquid mixture. Bake the batter in batches in a waffle iron until golden brown.</p

<p>Arrange 2 slices of semifreddo on each waffle on a flat plate and decorate with mint leaves.

• Riesling (halbtrocken & feinherb)

• 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.
