Crunchy Cow Tail Raviolis, Sweet Corn Bread and Vegetable Broth

Raviolis Crujientes de Rabo de Vaca y Pan de Maíz con Caldo de Legumbres

Eneko Atxa’s style is clearly defined. On the one hand, he updates and reinvents traditional recipes –like in this case. On the other hand, he uses avant-garde techniques to reinforce natural and chromatic aspects. The most brilliant of them is the dry ice: apart from creating mist and nebula in the dish and at the table, the chef has been able to get the most of many aromas (iodine, herbs flowers and an infinity of other ingredients) that captivate and fully satisfy the olfactory organ.
The chef proposes numerous dishes with historical memory that boast about redefined academic sauces. Apart from preserving traditional exquisiteness and gelatinousity, they show off unprecedented refinement, harmony and slender density. This original vision of the classical oxtail is a good example of those stocks Eneko is so attached to. A traditional deboned ragout converted into a terrine, cut into dices that are decorated with some melting and crunchy raviolis made with pork fat slices and sweet corn bread that are lain over another similar stock prepared with chickpeas, pumpkin, pig’s trotters and shoots that refresh both the eyes and the palate. Clairvoyant and unanimous gastronomic revival.



La Ricetta



4 servings

Cow tail
1 kg cow tail
1 onion
1 carrot
1 leek
1 tomato
10 g flour
100 ml red wine
Meat stock

Salt and coat the tail with flour. Fry. Use the remaining oil to fry the vegetables lightly. Once tender, mash the vegetables together with a generous splash of meat broth.
Put the fried tail into a pot with the wine, reduce for a couple of minutes and add the vegetable sauce. Cover and cook.
Allow to cool, debone and introduce into a terrine mould together with the sauce.

Ravioli
10 g pork fat
Deboned tail cut into dices
Sliced sweet corn bread
Make the shape of a cross with the pig fat, wrap some dices and cover with the sweet corn bread (previously cut into very thin –almost transparent– slices with the slicer). Set aside.

Vegetable broth
200 g chickpeas (soaked into water for 12 hours)
20 g pumpkin
½ pig’s trotter

Cook all the ingredients in a pot, strain and reduce to half. Strain again and set the broth aside.

Finishing and assembly
Toast the ravioli on both sides for 2 minutes in a frying pan. Pour the vegetable broth into the plate, add two or three ravioli and finish with some sprouts.

Avreste mai detto che nel ristorante di una piccola e nascosta via del centro di Torino lavora uno chef che nel suo curriculum ha frequentazioni niente poco di meno che alla Pyramide, da Paul Bocuse, da Laperouse o da Reine Saummut di Lourmarin? La cosa ci ha fatto molto piacere quando, dopo cena, lo chef si e' raccontato; non ci ha sorpreso pero' durante la cena. Da subito si nota l'influenza classica francese, il rigore, la ricerca della perfezione, il gusto estetico nella presentazione. Stefano Borra e' assolutamente molto preparato tecnicamente e culturalmente.
Appetizer: tazzina di crema al cavolfiore con sopra goccia di panna montata. E' un potage ammirabile! D'ispirazione provenzale i carciofi alla barigoule. In realtà c'e' la mano intelligente dello chef che modifica la seppur ottima ricetta tradizionale che prevede i carciofi cotti in pentola con aromi, prosciutto o pancetta e, a volte, funghi. Al posto del maiale usa quaglia disossata. Il tutto e' montato come un tortino, la quaglia sotto, ragù di carciofi sopra, tutto tenuto da un nastro di pasta e decorato con spicchi di carciofo. Questa e' cultura, conoscenza della storia, l'avere senso estetico, rendere elegante un piatto rustico sostituendo la quaglia al maiale. In una parola: Neoclassicismo! Poi ancora le lumache con burro e prezzemolo su polenta montata al burro: piatto gourmand, morbido, a cui lo chef da' ritmo aggiungendo prosciutto spagnolo tagliato a julienne. Squisita l'insalata di mare. Alla base moscardini, gamberi, polpo, fagioli borlotti ed un accenno di zenzero, sopra pezzi più grandi di calamaro e polpo cotti sottovuoto con un pomodoro confit. E' un piatto nuovo, diverso. Innanzitutto la tecnica dei crostacei cotti sottovuoto non e' usuale ma da risultati assolutamente grandiosi: la carne e' tiepida e mantiene una consistenza quasi gelatinosa, molto vicina al crudo. Inoltre questa sorta di ragù mare e terra e' stato ideato non con fagioli cannellini (alla Toscana) ma con fagioli borlotti (potremmo dire 'alla maniera Padana'). Ci e' piaciuta molto la voglia di stravolgere la regola 'crostacei con cannellini': ha ragione lo chef, il cannellino e' più farinoso, mentre il borlotto risulta più carnoso e si sintonizza meglio con la carne del crostaceo cotto sottovuoto. Gnocchi alla forchetta antologici: serviti su una crema di topinambour, saltati in un burro di acciuga ed accompagnati da pezzi di cardo gratinato, ottimo! Ogni ingrediente mantiene la sua identita': ecco come dare ordine ad un piatto che rischia di essere un miscuglio di prodotti e gusti. Altrettanto buoni e ben cucinati i ravioli di cotechino su parmentier profumata allo zafferano. Abbiamo continuato con una guancia di vitello brasata su pure' montata al burro: non solo molto ben cucinata, ma impiattata con una maestria che non avevamo mai visto! La carne e' tagliata perfettamente rotonda ed adagiata sulla purée: sembra una pièce di pasticceria. Anche il piatto di agnello e' da segnalare, il carré impanato con pain brioche', la sella a bassa temperatura ed un cilindro di pasta fillo ripieno di stinco disossato su caviar d'aubergines. Si nota subito la qualita' della carne: e' fresca, arriva sottovuoto dall'Irlanda.
In sala il sommelier Luca Cossu, socio dello chef, e' uomo di esperienza che ha lavorato in alcuni dei migliori ristoranti cittadini prima del Vo.
In definitiva uno dei migliori indirizzi torinesi.

No-one would say that this restaurant located in a hidden narrow street of Turin city centre is run by a cook who has been working in La Pyramide (Paul Bocuse), Lapérouse and with Reine Saummut, in Lourmarin –and that is saying something! The funny thing is that during our visit, although the chef told us about his story after the meal, we already suspected it during the feast, because we immediately perceived classical French influence, rigor, pursuit of perfection and good aesthetic taste regarding presentation. Stefano Borra is highly qualified in terms of both technique and knowledge.
To begin with, we were served a cup of cauliflower soup covered with a drop of whipped cream; admirable. Inspired by Provence, we had some artichokes à la barigoule. In fact, the yet excellent original recipe –artichoke stewed with aromas, ham or pork belly, and mushrooms, occasionally– has been altered by the chef’s intelligent hand. Instead of pork, Stefano uses deboned quail, and the dish is assembled like a pie, with the quail beneath, covered with the artichoke stew, tied by a pasta ribbon and garnished with pieces of artichokes. Culture, knowledge of story, aesthetic sense and hints of elegance gathered in a rustic dish, in which one product is simply replaced by another (quail for pork, in this case). In short: neoclassicism. Next, we tasted some escargots with butter and parsley over polenta whisked with butter: a greedy and delicate dish enhanced with some julienned Spanish cured ham. The sea salad, made of squids, prawns, octopus, red beans and a touch of ginger on the bottom, covered with bigger pieces of squid and octopus (vacuum-cooked with caramelized tomato), was really exquisite. A new and different proposal. Although this technique is not very usual to cook the crustaceans, the results are frankly great: the lukewarm meat preserves its original consistency, almost gelatinous, like if it was raw. On the other hand, this kind of earth and sea ragout is proposed with red beans (Padana style, we might say) instead of white beans (Toscana style). We enjoyed this will to break away from the typical “crustaceans/white beans” combination. The cook is right: white beans are flourier than red beans, which are fleshier and more in tune with the vacuum-cooked meat of the seafood. The gnocchi served over Jerusalem artichokes, sautéed with anchovy butter and accompanied with pieces of grated thistle, are anthological, delicious. Every single ingredient preserves its identity. The chef brings order to a dish that might be a huge mix of products and flavours. And here is another brilliantly executed exquisiteness: cotechino (pork sausage) raviolis over parmentier perfumed with saffron. The show went on with charcoal-grilled veal cheeks over mashed potatoes whisked with butter: apart from the impeccable doneness, the presentation is synonymous with incredible mastery. The meat is cut into perfect circles and lain over the mashed potatoes; it looks like pastry work. And what can we say about the lamb dish: rack coated with bun bread, saddle cooked at low temperature and phyllo dough roll stuffed with deboned knuckle over aubergine caviar. The guest immediately appreciates the high quality of the meat, utterly fresh, directly imported from Ireland in vacuum-packed bags.
In the dining-room, sommelier Luca Cossu, the boss’s partner, is an experienced man who used to work for the best restaurants in town before coming to Vo’s.

Nadie diría que en este restaurante ubicado en una callejuela recóndita del centro de Torino trabaja un cocinero que, en el trascurso de su carrera, ha ejercido ni más ni menos que en La Pyramide, de Paul Bocuse, el Lapérouse o Reine Saummut, en Lourmarin. La gracia fue que aunque el chef nos lo contó después de la cena, ya lo intuíamos durante el festín, porque desde el primer momento, percibimos la influencia clásica francesa, el rigor, la búsqueda de la perfección, el gusto estético en la presentación. Stefano Borra está altamente preparado tanto técnica como culturalmente.
De aperitivo, una taza de crema de coliflor cubierta con una gota de nata montada; una sopa admirable. De inspiración provenzal, siguieron unas alcachofas à la barigoule. En realidad, la mano inteligente del chef es la que modifica la ya excelente receta tradicional, que ofrece las alcachofas cocidas en la cazuela con aromas, jamón o panceta y, a veces, champiñones. En vez de cerdo, Stefano utiliza codorniz deshuesada. El plato se monta como una tortada, con la codorniz abajo, el ragú de alcachofa encima, sostenidos por una cinta de pasta y decorados con trozos de alcachofa. Cultura, dominio de la historia, sentido estético, toque de elegancia en un plato rústico simplemente sustituyendo un producto por otro (tocino por codorniz, en este caso). En una palabra: neoclasicismo. A continuación nos sirvieron caracoles con mantequilla y perejil sobre una polenta montada con mantequilla: un plato goloso, delicado, al que el chef le da relieve incorporándole jamón español cortado en juliana. Exquisita la ensalada de mar, con calamares, gambas, pulpo, judías pintas y un toque de jengibre en la base, cubiertos por trozos más grandes de calamar y pulpo cocido al vacío con un tomate confitado. Un plato nuevo, diferente. Aunque la técnica de los crustáceos al vacío no es habitual, da resultados realmente espectaculares: la carne resulta tibia y mantiene una consistencia casi gelatinosa, como si fuera cruda. Por otra parte, este tipo de ragú de mar y tierra no se presenta con habas (a la Toscana), sino con judías pintas (a la Padana, podríamos decir). Nos gustó mucho la voluntad de romper con la típica combinación “crustáceos con habas”. El chef tiene razón: las habas son más harinosas que las judías pintas, más carnosas y más en sintonía con la carne del crustáceo cocido al vacío. Antológicos los ñoquis de tenedor, servidos sobre una crema de tupinambo, salteados en una mantequilla de anchoas y acompañados con trozos de cardo gratinado; ¡una delicia! Cada ingrediente mantiene su propia identidad. Aquí se pone orden en un plato que podría ser una gran mezcla de productos y sabores. Otra exquisitez muy bien elaborada: los raviolis de cotechino (salchichón de cerdo) sobre parmentier perfumado con azafrán. Luego seguimos con unas carrilleras de ternera a la brasa sobre puré de patatas montado con mantequilla: aparte de una cocción impecable, la presentación demuestra una maestría de lo nunca visto. La carne está cortada en una forma perfectamente redonda y depositada sobre el puré; parece una pieza de pastelería. Y qué decir del plato de cordero: carré rebozado con pan de brioche, silla cocida a baja temperatura y cilindro de pasta filo relleno con jarrete deshuesado sobre caviar de berenjenas. Se nota enseguida la calidad de la carne, fresquísima, directamente llegada de Irlanda al vacío.
En sala, el sumiller Luca Cossu, socio del chef, es un hombre muy experimentado que ha trabajado en algunos de los mejores restaurantes de la ciudad antes de venir al Vo.
En definitiva, una de las mejores mesas de Torino.

Eneko Atxa tiene perfilado su estilo. Por un lado actualiza y reinventa recetas tradicionales, es el caso y por otro emplea técnicas de vanguardia para potenciar cualidades naturales y cromáticas, siendo una de ellas las esferificaciones.
Son muchos los platos con memoria histórica que alardean de salsas académicas redefinidas. Conservan la suculencia y hasta la gelatinosidad tradicional, si bien muestran un refinamiento y una armonía inéditos, además de una inédita esbeltez en su densidad. Un ejemplo de estos fondos, que tanto prodiga, que gustan a todos lo tenemos en este guiso tradicional de manitas y tocino con verduras y garbanzos que una vez pulido se impregna de ingenio y contrastes, además de carnaza, llega a saturar el paladar, al ilustrarlo con papada, espárragos y anchoas; casi nada. Los bombones de queso dan volumen y evanescencia a una receta gourmand.

Un mets d’une pureté exacerbée dont les ingrédients, dotés d’une touche orientale –japonaise, pour être plus précis–, très prisés par Pascal Barbot mais sans pour autant s’avérer déterminants dans sa cuisine, sont humés et mâchés, à peine touchés. Ici, ils sont proposés sous une de leur facettes, éminemment française, très particulière. Le naturalisme d’inspiration nippone.



La Ricetta



 

 Pour la marinade maquereau :
- 300 g miso brun
- 150 g mirin
- 50 g de saké
- 1 c à c de moutarde

Flamber le saké et le mirin. Mélanger le tout et détendre avec de l’eau si besoin.

Pour les filets de maquereaux :
- 3 maquereaux de 400 g en filets

Laisser mariné pendant 2 heures les filets de maquereaux dans la marinade. Egoutter. Réserver.

Oignons à la rose au vinaigre 1-2-3

- 3 oignons rouges
- 1 volume de sucre ou de sirop d’érable

Peler les oignons, les couper en quatre et les effeuiller. Les faire macérer 1 minute avec un peu de gros sel, puis les rincer et les mettre dans un grand bocal en verre.
Parfumer le vinaigre avec l’eau de rose. Le verser dans la casserole avec le sucre et le verjus. Faire cuire en sirop. Verser chaud sur les pétales d’oignons. Réserver. Attendre 10 jours avant de consommer.

Pour le dressage :

Cuire les filets de maquereau dans un beurre moussant, cuire côté peau pendant 2 minutes, retourner, laisser cuire encore 1 minute et débarrasser. Servir avec les navets kabu tailler en pétale, les oignons taillés en julienne, et les quartiers de pomelos.

A dish that expresses extreme purity whose ingredients –which come from the East (from Japan to be exact) and Pascal Barbot is quite given to, but not obsessed with– are smelled, chewed and hardly touched. Here they are, shown in one of their forms, eminently French and very peculiar. Naturalism of Japanese inspiration.



La Ricetta



 

 

For the mackerel marinade
- 300 g brown miso
- 150 g Mirin (rice wine)
- 50 g sake
- 1 teaspoon mustard

Flambé the Mirin and the sake, mix and water down, if necessary.

For the mackerel fillets
- 3 mackerels (400 g) cut into fillets

Let marinate the mackerels for 2 hours, drain and set aside.

Onions with rose and vinegar 1-2-3

- 3 red onions
- 1 measure sugar or maple syrup
- 2 measures rice vinegar
- 3 measures verjuice
- rose water (1 cap for 200 ml vinegar)
- 3 juniper berries, 1 laurel leaf, 1 fresh dill flower

Method
Peel the onions, cut them into four parts and put the layers off. Let soak for 1 minute with a bit of coarse salt, rinse out and put into a big glass jar.
Perfume the vinegar with rose water, pour into a saucepan with the sugar and the verjuice, and heat to make syrup. Pour hot over the onion petals. Set aside for 10 days before use.

Assembly
Cook the mackerel fillets in foamy butter with the skin side down for 2 minutes, turn over, cook for 1 more minute and set aside. Serve with kabu turnip cut into petals, julienned onions and grapefruit segments.
