Asparagus yogurt mousse with grilled green asparagus

At CARL & SOPHIE, located at the AMERON Berlin ABION Spreebogen Waterside, chef Martin Höse brings contemporary classics from different country cuisines and creative vegetable variations to the plate. The asparagus yogurt mousse with grilled green asparagus definitely makes for a springtime refreshment.

Ingredients for 5 people

  • 500g green asparagus
  • 200 ml asparagus stock
  • 50 ml cream
  • 50 g yogurt 10%
  • 2 sheets of gelatine
  • salt
  • pepper
  • sugar
  • Olive oil
  • 1 chili pepper
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 espuma (optional)

Preparation

Cut off the woody parts of the green asparagus and grill with olive oil. Marinate the grilled asparagus with salt, sugar, olive oil, chili and lemon juice and then refrigerate. Soak the gelatine. Mix asparagus stock and yogurt and then season to taste.

If an espuma is at hand, pour the asparagus yogurt mixture into a bottle with the gelatin and cream and froth with an iSi capsule. If no espuma is at hand, whip the cream, fold into the mixture with the gelatin, pour into a mold of choice and chill.

When the mousse is somewhat firm, arrange it with the asparagus as desired.

MAIN COURSE

Calf fillet with fregola sarda & spring asparagus

"Back to the roots", that is the guiding principle of our chef Florian Weidlich and his team. Thus, the authentic Italian cuisine forms the basis of our creations, which make do with few, but selected ingredients. An equally refreshing main course awaits you from the Oliveto restaurant, which is located in the AMERON Bonn Hotel Königshof. A taste experience that leaves room for a delicious dessert.

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 600g fillet of calf parted free of sinew
  • 300g Fregola Sarda ( PASTA SORT FROM SARDINIA)
  • 100g dried tomatoes
  • 100g finely grated parmesan
  • 1 red onion
  • 12 spears asparagus
  • 2 eggs boiled for 11 min
  • 2 slices of toast
  • 100g ricotta
  • Wild herb salad
  • butter, sea salt, ground pepper, olive oil, sugar

Preparation

Carefully sear the veal fillet on all sides. Then place in a preheated oven at 160 degrees on a rack for 8 minutes. Then let it rest in a warm place.

Cook the fregola sarda in boiling salted water until al dente, then shake it off, add a drop of olive oil and mix it in. Cut the dried tomatoes and the red onion into fine strips. Peel the asparagus, make a stock with the peels, 2 tablespoons of butter, salt, sugar and water.

Cook the asparagus in the stock until tender, then marinate with sea salt, ground pepper and olive oil.

Cut small fine cubes from the toast slices and fry them in butter until crispy. Cut the boiled eggs into small cubes.

Heat some olive oil in a pan and lightly fry the red onion strips and tomato strips. Add the Fregola Sarda, 1-2 ladles of asparagus stock and reduce briefly. Then finish with cold butter and Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper.

Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the veal fillet briefly until it is lightly brown on the outside.

Now place the asparagus on the plate, spread the eggs, ricotta and wild herb slaw on top and drizzle some olive oil over it, sprinkle the croutons on top at the end.

Arrange the Fregola Sarda and cut the veal fillet and place it on top.
