Jannis Brevet

Inter Scaldes

C’est en Zélande que l’on peut découvrir cette maison au toit de chaume, d’une extrême beauté architecturale. Elle est le domaine de Jannis Brevet, un chef considéré comme l’une des plus grandes figures de proue de la gastronomie néerlandaise. Sa cuisine est extrêmement personnelle et minimaliste. Tout l’esprit de la maison réside dans l’extrême qualité des produits et l’art de l’épure. Inter Scaldes est réputé pour ses fruits de mer et crustacés, des produits subtils s’alliant merveilleusement bien avec le veau. Un des plats favoris du chef est l’association de la moelle de veau, du céleri-rave et de la truffe, une association mémorable. “Ce plat fait son effet à table, c’est un plat sobre, uniquement axé sur le goût.”

Veal kidneys with crème of Epoisses and green cabbage

For the potato crème, cook the potatoes (preferably of equal size) with their skins on, in salted water, drain and steam dry. Peel the potatoes and puree them in a passe-vite (food mill), stir in the butter, the olive oil and the milk. Rub through a fine-mesh sieve and mix the very hot puree with the Epoisses cheese, à la minute, for a very smooth crème. Blanch the green cabbage leaves in salted water, cut them in circles using a cutter and dip them in reduced cream just before serving. Remove the fat from the kidneys and melt part of it in a pan. Slice the kidneys into pieces, following pattern on the meat and sear in the fat. Deglaze with the Armagnac and flambé. Add the white wine with the mustard and chopped tarragon and simmer on low heat until the kidneys are nice and pink. Leave the kidneys to drain in a colander. Meanwhile, thicken the sauce with small knobs of cold butter. Fry the kidneys until golden brown, briefly, in sizzling butter and just before serving. Season with salt and pepper. Place the kidneys with the green cabbage on the stewed kohlrabi and draw lines of potato crème along the side. Put a Parmesan cylinder shaped next to it and serve the sauce separately.
