🐟 Twister Agency Chef Cyrille Witz presents: The "Surf & Turf Duo: Roasted Fish Fillet on Green Risotto"
Private Chef in a Luxury Chalet: Fusion and Gastronomic Precision
This dish is the perfect illustration of modern fusion cuisine, combining the tradition of risotto with the freshness of fish and shellfish. It is prepared and served by our Michelin-starred chefs to guarantee an impeccable gastronomic experience at the heart of your alpine stay.
1. What's in It? (Composition and Key Ingredients)
This dish is a three-part creation, offering a balance between the sea, the garden, and a touch of acidity:
The Main Protein (Surf/Turf):
Roasted White Fish Fillet: A beautiful portion of firm, white-fleshed fish (cod, halibut, or sea bass), cooked on one side only to achieve crispy skin and tender flesh.
The Vegetable Base (Green Risotto):
Creamy Risotto: A creamy risotto (Arborio or Carnaroli rice), intensely colored and flavored with herbs (basil, parsley) or green vegetables (peas, arugula), providing a vegetal flavor and a comforting texture.
The Shellfish Element (Fresh Tartare):
Grey/Pink Shrimp Tartare: Small pieces of seasoned shrimp and seafood (lemon, chives), presented on a mound of rice or another base, topped with a beautiful whole shrimp (langoustine or prawn) for presentation.
Accompanying Glass: A small glass containing avocado guacamole or a vegetable/shellfish mousse, garnished with a shellfish claw (lobster or langoustine) as a luxurious finishing touch.
Sauces and Coulis:
Citrus/Carrot Coulis: A vibrant orange sauce (likely made with carrot, bell pepper, or mango/passion fruit purée) adds a sweet and tangy note that runs through the dish.
2. How Was It Made? (The Star Chef's Precision)
The success of this dish relies on the simultaneous execution of different techniques (risotto, cooking the fish, preparing the tartare):
Cooking the Risotto: The risotto is prepared to order. The Star Chef ensures the rice is cooked to perfection "al dente" and the intensity of the green flavor is enhanced by incorporating herbs or very finely pureed vegetables.
Cooking the Fish: The fillet is often cooked skin-side down and then basted with brown butter for a perfect crust and pearly flesh.
Tartare and Plating: The tartare is assembled and seasoned just before serving to guarantee its freshness. The entire dish is presented with geometric precision, the sauces applied with a brush or piping bag for the dots.
3. How to Enjoy It? (The Sumptuous Service Experience)
The experience is enhanced by the service of our elite team:
Masterful Service by the Maître d'Hôtel: The dish is served piping hot (for the risotto and the fish) on a preheated plate, while the tartare and the verrine are kept chilled for contrast.
The Perfect Pairing: A structured white Burgundy (Meursault or Saint-Véran) or an oaky Chardonnay will perfectly complement the richness of the creamy risotto and the texture of the fish.
Tasting: It is recommended to take a bite that combines the fish flesh, the creamy risotto, and a touch of orange coulis to balance the richness and acidity. The tartare is enjoyed as a refreshing interlude.
4. ⚠️ List of Probable Allergens:
Based on visual and typical composition:
Fish: White fish fillet (major allergen).
Crustaceans: Shrimp, Lobster/Scampi claw (major allergen).
Milk: Butter, Parmesan cheese, or cream used in the risotto (major allergen).
Gluten: Low risk (unless flour is used as a thickener in the sauce).
Eggs: If the tartare or sauce contains mayonnaise.
