Two recipes that will leave you wanting more

The two recipes we are sharing with you today show the range of culinary creations that await you at the gourmet ski days:

 

SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM WITH MISO

Jaimy Reisinger's salted caramel ice cream with miso - sweet meets umami

Viktoria Fahringer, Helena Jordan, Jaimy Reisigner and Sandra Scheidl are launching a project that has never been seen before in this form with a great deal of courage and a wealth of creative ideas, and Jaimy Reisinger shows us her recipe as a taster for this unusual event!

The unusual recipe works incredibly well and even impresses professional confectioners. The ice cream starts with a homemade salted caramel. Sugar is caramelised with glucose, butter is stirred in and deglazed with cream. Refined with sea salt and real vanilla, a caramel sauce is created that forms the foundation for an exceptional ice cream.

The ice cream base of milk, cream, egg yolk and sugar is combined with the salted caramel and - here comes the surprise - light-coloured miso paste. This fermented seasoning paste from Japan adds an unexpected depth and complexity that gives this dessert an unforgettable character.

Salted caramel

  • 150 g sugar
  • 20 g glucose
  • 30 g butter
  • 180 g cream
  • 3 g sea salt
  • 2 vanilla pods

Caramelise the sugar with the glucose and stir in the butter. Gradually add the cream slowly deglaze. Add the salt. Scrape out the vanilla pods, add the seeds and pod and cook until 107 degrees.

  • 300 g cream
  • 50 g egg yolks

Cabbage sprouts

A new interpretation from the Markthof duo

With their cabbage sprout dish, Fabian Schasching and Max Eichberger prove that winter vegetables can be exciting. Their aim was to take something down-to-earth to the next level, and we think they have definitely succeeded!

Their dish combines dark brown roasted cabbage sprouts with a hazelnut marinade made from apple juice, white balsamic vinegar and hazelnut oil. This is accompanied by wafer-thin Granny Smith slices, marinated in apple vinegar and hazelnut oil, as well as a savoury rocket mayonnaise with wasabi and tarragon mustard.

The different textures and the mix of nutty, spicy and sour notes make this dish a special flavour experience that is sure to be a hit at this year's gourmet ski days.
