A look behind the scenes of haute cuisine: we were invited to visit award-winning chef Herbert Schmidhofer at his restaurant and watch him cook. With great passion and finesse, he prepared a delicious beetle bean cream for us and served it in three delicious variations: vegetarian, with fish and with meat. We present these recipe ideas, which show how versatile our Styrian Käferbohnen beans can be. Here is a perfect starter for all meat lovers: tender roast beef on Käferbohnen bean cream.
- For the scarlet runner bean cream, blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender on full power for approx. 1 minute and season to taste. The cream should not be too thick, but should have a very creamy consistency. If necessary, add a little pumpkin seed oil, soup or vinegar to taste.
- YES, you can actually bread beetle beans! To do this, rinse the beans and drain them well. Roll the beetle beans in flour, beaten salted egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Then fry the beans briefly in hot vegetable oil and drain them on kitchen paper.
- Arrange creatively: spread the scarlet runner bean purée on the plate, place the thinly sliced meat on top, arrange the beetroot cubes in small piles and finally scatter the breaded scarlet runner beans (lukewarm) over the plate. Garnish with cress and finely chopped radish leaves and finally drizzle with a few drops of pumpkin seed oil.
This is my tip
As an alternative to roast beef, boiled beef, Bündnerfleisch or smoked meat are also excellent choices.
