- Peel the vegetable and cut everything in 1cm big pieces. Sweat onions and parsnip in a pot for about 5 minutes, then add the chopped pumpkin. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg and sweat for another 5 minutes. Quench with white wine and vegetable bouillon.
- Cook everything for 20 minutes. Shortly before serving, mix the vegetable with the blender, add cream until it’s a creamy purée.
- Crumble or pestle the crispbread. Mingle the herbs with butter, crispbread and egg, flavor it with salt, pepper, horseradish and Dijon mustard; set everything aside for approximately 10 minutes.
- Spread the crust out of crispbread and herbs on the lamb filet.
- Let cook at 130°C for 15-18 minutes in the pre-heated oven (core temperature should not exceed 64°C)
- Shortly before serving, scallop the meat with the crust in the oven for 1-2 minutes so that the crust gets crunchy and gold brown.
- Serving suggestion: First put the purée on the plate, place the lamb crown on it and garnish with chilli, pumpkin seed oil and a sprig of rosemary.
- Enjoy your meal!
