Livar filetwellington with mushroom fondue and truffle

Ingredients (for 4 persons)

Varkens werden van oudsher ingezet bij de zoektocht naar truffels. De dieren zijn er dol op en weten deze zeldzame paddenstoelen dus goed te vinden. Sterrenchef Robert Levels creëerde voor dit gerecht een wellington met Livar filet culinair in combinatie met Limburgse champignons en zwarte truffel. Robert Levels: ‘Dit vlees is extra smaakvol omdat de vetkap er nog aan zit. Het vet zorgt voor een onderscheidende smaak.’

  1. Raise the mushrooms with a bottom of chicken stock. Steam until the liquid is released from the mushrooms. Reduce briefly to enhance the flavour. Grind the mushrooms with three quarters of the liquid and mix with 150 grams of panko (Japanese breadcrumbs). For the sauce, reduce the remaining liquid and add a dash of cream and some salt and pepper.
  2. Defrost the puff pastry a little before preparation. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Cut the truffle into strips. Cut the fillet in several places and insert the truffle strips into the fillet. Fry the fillet on both sides. Then wrap the fillet completely with the slices of Prosciutto di Monastero. Prepare enough puff pastry to completely wrap the fillet. Apply a layer of stuffing to the meat and then roll in the puff pastry until it is completely wrapped. Make sure the edges of the puff pastry are tight together and completely seal the package. Moisten slightly if necessary to stick together. Place the Livar filetwellington with core thermometer in the preheated oven. Heat until the core temperature reaches 57 degrees Celsius. Remove from the oven and let rest so that the meat absorbs all the juices and the core temperature rises to around 63 degrees Celsius.
  3. Slice the Livar filetwellington. Dress the plate with the remaining garnishes. Complete the dish by grating fresh truffle over it and finish with fresh herbs.
