Ingredients

Pork cutlet sous vide

  • 2 pcs. Pork chops with bone
  • Ghee Can be substituted with butter and oil
  • Flake Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Fries anna

  • 1 kg Potato
  • Butter melted
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Thyme

Thyme Ice Cream

  • 1 pcs. Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 4.5 gram Oil
  • 300 gram Red Wine
  • 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
  • 400 gram stock
  • 5 gram Lemon Juice
  • 2.5 gram Vinegar
  • 30 gram Butter Cold

Instructions

Sous vide pork chops

  • Season your meat with salt and pepper, and place each piece in a sous vide bag.
  • Cook the meat in a sous vide for 3 hours at 58 degrees Celsius (136 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Then remove the meat from the water bath and from the bags. Dry it well with a kitchen towel, and sear it in a pan with ghee. Here is the recipe for ghee. It can also be substituted with a mix of oil and butter.

Pommes Anna - a quick version

  • Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Peel the potatoes, slice them thin on a mandoline slicer, and rinse them in cold water.
  • Layer the potatoes with melted butter, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. We use a bread loaf pan here, but you can use any form you prefer. Find something to use as a weight when baking them in the oven.
  • Bake your Pommes Anna under aluminum foil and weight for 30 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Normally, you would refrigerate your Pommes Anna until the next day - but since this is a quick version, it needs further baking.
  • Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) without weight.
  • Cut your Pommes Anna into appropriate sizes.

Thyme Glaze

  • Clean and finely chop onions and garlic. Take out a heavy-bottomed pot and sauté both in neutral-tasting oil until soft and translucent.
  • Add red wine and thyme sprigs and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add 4 dl of broth. If you have drippings, trimmings, or other stock, feel free to add those as well.
  • Add a bit of lemon juice and vinegar and season with dried thyme.
  • When your sauce has reduced to 1-2 dl, it should be finished with cold butter cut into cubes.
  • Ensure the sauce is boiling vigorously, and that the butter comes straight from the refrigerator. It is crucial to hit the right temperatures and whisk vigorously.
  • Add a piece of butter at a time while whisking vigorously until the sauce reaches the desired thickness. There should be plenty of butter in it.
  • Finally, assemble your dish and serve it to your guests.
