    Surreal, I saw Marco pierre white make trotters a la Koffman decades ago and now the man himself is making it.

      The big difference i noticed is how easy it was for a young guy like Marco to snap and tear the trotters apart.

      Whoever’s idea it was to produce a 40 minute video of Pierre making trotters deserves a medal. This is so good, and he explains so many tiny details and integral things you would otherwise miss or have no idea about. Like, it’s a recipe that needs that kind of length.

    I attempted to make this dish solely off cookbook directions. It was a disaster. The flavors were there, but the chicken mouse in the trotters leaked out and fell apart. My final product ended up looking like a dish plated in a mosh pit. It was delicious, but my presentation made it look like a crime scene. Thank you for posting Chef Hoffmann's recipe and technique. I'm sure I'll wreck this in a new and more pleasing way.

    • @karohemd2426
      @karohemd2426 22 дня назад

      Well done for even having tried to do it. I imagine the mousseline is something you need an eye for determining the correct ratio of meat to liquid. Not every chicken breast has the same consistency, I bet the freshness of the egg white makes a difference (the older the looser), and the cream can be more or less liquid so you need the experience of having made it many times to know how it should look and feel.

      I wouldn't worry. Nobody is supposed to master this dish on the first go. As easy as Pierre makes it look, this is a very skilled dish with a lot of different techniques on display. Most seasoned and confident cooks would struggle. Recipe books and videos will never be able to show you the instinct, the muscle memory and the sense of touch and feel that a chef has developed over decades of mastering his craft.

    Genius. I ate this dish many years ago when Mr Koffmann had his restarunt in Hospital Road, Chelsea. The only difference is that I think he had truffle in it as well. I can say at the age of 65 that this is the best dish I have ever eaten. I left the restaurant in a daze, not before I had booked for lunch the next day.

      You poor poor Americans. I'm lucky to live in a relatively small country like the UK where there are plenty of high street (and farm shop) butchers who break down whole pigs for their shops and will therefore have trotters. More than likely they won't be on the counter but you ask in advance, they'll keep them for you.

    I had this dish (and the other two famous Koffmann staples, squid "bolognaise" and pistachio souffle) at Koffmann's at The Berkeley 11 years ago. Absolutely blown away but I basically rolled out of the door. Not something you'd eat every day. It is very rich and you get 50/50 potato/butter mash, too. This could only have been topped by meeting Pierre but sadly he was not in that day.
    I consider myself a competent home cook but this sort of fiddly process I am very happy to pay professionals for. :)
