For the Lamb:

Ingredients
145 g lamb shank
salt
pepper
10 g oil

Bain-marie: 65 °C
Time: 20 minutes
 

  • Vacuum seal the lamb rump and cook in a bain-marie. Remove the bag and cut open.
  • Prepare the Stove-Top Bodum: put 1 litre of water, a few dried violets and primroses in the appliance.
  • Take out the meat and put it in the upper part of the Bodum. Fill the lower part with water, add a pinch of salt and heat the water just enough that the water boils over and covers the meat. Leave the meat in the stock for a short time. Then remove the machine from the heat and serve the meat.

Wild Green Asparagus

Ingredients
210 g green wild asparagus
15 g butter
some salt

Bain-marie: 65 °C
Time: 20 minutes

  • Cut the asparagus into desired sizes, vacuum seal with the butter and a little salt.
  • Place in the bain-marie and cook. After the time has elapsed, remove the bag and cut it open.
  • Briefly pan-sear the asparagus.

Wild Garlic Buds

Ingredients
40 g wild garlic buds
20 g butter
salt
pepper

Melt butter in a pan, briefly brown the buds in it and season with a little salt and pepper.

Kohlrabi

Ingredients
2 piece(s) kohlrabi

Remove the outer part of the kohlrabi and peel it to create long strips. Arrange these in a decorative way.

Natural Yogurt Dip

Ingredients
200 g water
3 g sodium alginate
100 g natural yogurt
  • Briefly mix water with alginate in a measuring cup. Let it stand for about 20 minutes, then pour into a small glass bowl.
  • Fill another glass bowl with water.
  • Now slowly go in and fill the natural yogurt with a dropping spoon. Slowly slide this spoon into the alginate bath and turn it over so that a small ball is formed. Take this out with a slotted spoon and bathe briefly in the clear water.

Garnishes:

  • Sprinkles of beetroot juice, various herbs, apple blossoms

Coffee Beer Infusion

Ingredients
100 g apple juice
20 g coffee beans
5 apple blossom
200 g water
