Lamb tongues in demi-glace
250 g With pumpkin purée.
A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Lamb tongues are served with demi-glace and pumpkin purée. The dish combines a meat base, sauce and a soft vegetable accompaniment. Try the pumpkin by itself, then with the tongue, to discover the part it plays in the overall combination.
Flavour and serving
The purée is already part of this hot starter. Varying its amount in each bite changes the balance between the meat and the soft vegetable accompaniment.
Pumpkin serves as the accompaniment to the meat here. In the roasted pumpkin salad, the same vegetable meets cheese and grapefruit, so the two dishes show different menu directions. For a first taste of lamb tongues, start with the complete purée-and-demi-glace serving. Choose extra sauces afterwards, as they change the combination already assembled by the kitchen.
What to try alongside
If this is your first time choosing lamb tongues, ask the team about their texture. A vegetable salad ordered separately offers another style of accompaniment.
