In the kitchen with Chantal Chamberot at the “Domaine de la Couture” in Evaux les Bains

On the menu: shiitakes with veal sweetbreads Rossini style

In the middle of the Creuse countryside, “Le Domaine de la Couture” is a wonderful place and a haven of peace. On the property, four guest rooms, a cottage and five unusual accommodations, including cabins, a trailer and a yurt. As for the restaurant, the chef offers tasty and generous traditional regional cuisine.

The ingredients of the recipe:

• 3 Shiitakes
• 1 zucchini
• 150 g of veal sweetbreads
• 1 slice of foie gras

Brown the shiitakes in grapeseed oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

In the 19th century, the Bretons had the rite of offering sweetbreads to visitors in their butcher shops, the product was considered noble at the time. Calf sweetbreads were only served for major events.

In the rest of the recipe, chef Chantal Chamberot denervates the sweetbreads and cuts them into small pieces before frying them for ten minutes with the diced zucchini.

To finish the recipe, Chantal browns a slice of foie gras that she has previously dipped in flour for ten seconds.

Arrange your plate with the mushrooms covered with sweetbreads and the slice of foie gras. We tasted with Antoine our technician, a real delight. At table !
