• 1 ganzes Huhn
• 0,4 Liter Riesling
• 0,2 Liter Sahne
• 1 kl. Glas Cognac
• 2 Stück Schalotten
• 1 Stück Knoblauchzehe
• 1 Stück Eigelb
• 1/2 Bund Petersilie
• 1 EL Mehl

Carve the chicken. Heat approx. 50 g butter with 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken pieces until light brown (without the lid). Season lightly with salt.

Finely chop the shallots, peel and finely chop the garlic. Chop the parsley and add everything to the meat. Sauté briefly with the pan closed. Pour the cognac over the meat and light it (flambé). Deglaze with 1/3 litre of Riesling and leave to simmer for half an hour over a low heat. If necessary, add a little more wine and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

Remove the chicken pieces and keep warm for a short time. Mix 1 tbsp of flour with 1 egg yolk and the cream and whisk into the sauce. Flavour with salt and pepper. Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Serve immediately.

This goes well with tagliatelle.

Variant:Fry 150 g fresh mushrooms in 50 g butter and add.

• Riesling (trocken)

• 500 Gramm Hähnchenbrustfilet
• 2 reife Birnen
• 200 ml Birnensaft
• 100 ml Sahne
• 1 ganze Zwiebel
• 4 EL Olivenöl
• nach Belieben Salz & Pfeffer

Cut the chicken breast fillet into strips. Peel the onion and cut into cubes. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the meat in it. Add the diced onion and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Wash and peel the pears, remove the skin, cut into wedges and sauté in the pan. Deglaze with the pear juice and allow to reduce slightly.

<p>Finally, add the cream and season to taste.

• Müller-Thurgau (halbtrocken & feinherb)
• Kerner (halbtrocken & feinherb)

• 4 Stück Lammlachse à 150 g
• 4 Scheiben Bacon
• 0,1 Liter Wein
• 0,3 Liter Gemüsebrühe
• 1 kleine Schalotte
• 20 Gramm Butter
• 4 EL Olivenöl
• je 2 Zweige Thymian, Rosmarin, Salbei
• nach Geschmack Salz & Pfeffer

Season the lamb salmon with pepper and massage 2 tbsp of olive oil into the meat. Finely chop the thyme, rosemary and sage and season the meat in the herbs. Marinate in the fridge for a few hours.

<p>Wrap the meat with the bacon slices and sear on all sides in the remaining olive oil. Continue to cook for approx. 4 minutes on each side over a low heat (the cooking time depends on the thickness of the lamb loin - it is best to do a pressure test). Then wrap in aluminium foil and leave to rest in the oven at 80 °C – so they remain juicy and slightly pink on the inside.

This goes well with Bärlauch risotto.

• Dornfelder (trocken)

• 1 kg Zwetschgen (frisch oder TK)
• 100 Gramm Zucker
• 0.5 TL gemahlener Zimt
• Eine Prise Nelkenpulver
• 50 ml Pflaumenschnaps
• 50 Gramm dunkler Rohrzucker
• 2 EL alter Balsamicoessig
• 200 Gramm Zucker
• 4 Eigelb
• 500 ml Sahne

Plum rings:

Wash, deseed and quarter the plums. Spread the sugar evenly in a non-stick pan and melt slowly over a medium heat. Increase the temperature and immediately add the fruit, schnapps and spices. Stir until the mixture caramelises.

Stir in the muscovado sugar and balsamic vinegar, spread onto a cold plate after approx. 3 minutes.

<p>Cinnamon ice cream:

Combine the sugar and egg yolks and stir the two ingredients over a bain-marie until frothy.

Whip the cream, then carefully mix both mixtures and add three teaspoons of cinnamon. Carefully mix the cinnamon into the mixture again.

Pour the finished mixture into any (cake) tin or small dish, cover with aluminium foil and place in the freezer for at least three hours.

Place the plums on four deep plates or small bowls, cut off 2 – 3 ice lollies each and place on top, serve immediately.
