A word from the Chef

«Since the kings of France chose Val-de-Loire as their holiday destination, the best gastronomic produce that our country has to offer has been transported to our beautiful Touraine. Fish from our coasts, meat and poultry from our regions, and all the fruit and vegetables grown along the Loire in land rich in alluvia have contributed our region's reputation as «the garden of France».

So it is quite natural that many chefs, attracted by the richness and diversity of this culinary produce, have settled along the Châteaux routes, each of them preparing it according to their know-how and sensibilities.

Our cuisine in Marçay is developed in keeping with the season and the best choice of produce delivered to us, and optimises its flavours, tastes and textures.

To take advantage of the benefits of our land even more, we have created an orchard and a kitchen garden. This winter, we were fortunate enough to dig up our first truffles, and we are waiting impatiently to be able to share their benefits with our customers through tastings and cookery lessons.»

La Géline de Touraine à la vapeur de Champagne

Christophe CANATI,
La Géline de Touraine à la vapeur de Champagne

Ingredients

1 Touraine Fowl (1.4 kg / 1.6 kg)

1 onion

1 carrot

½ leek

½ litre of thick cream

½ litre of champagne

500 g. of flour

1 egg yolk

1 bunch of mixed herbs (bouquet garni)

Salt and pepper

 

Side dish:

Saffron perfumed mashed potatoes

 

600 g. of potatoes

200 g. of unsalted butter

2 g. of saffron

 

 

Directions

 

Empty and bridle the fowl, then season it.

Dice the carrot, onion and leek.

Add 300 g. of water to the flour, and knead to obtain a homogeneous and smooth dough.

Take a Pyrex roasting–pot, put the fowl on an upside down plate, lay the vegetable garnish, ¼ litre of champagne and the bunch of herbs.

Put the lid on and stick the dough around it in order to make it airtight.

Glaze the dough with an egg yolk, and cook for 1 hour and a quarter at a temperature of 200º C.

For the juice, reduce the rest of the champagne by half, then add the cream and reduce again by a third.

Serve with saffron perfumed mashed potatoes.
