Ingredients for 4 people
Herb crust:

- 80 g white bread - without crust in cubes
- 2 egg yolks
- salt, pepper, cayenne pepper
- 10 g shaved parmesan
- 50 chopped herbs (e.g. parsley, thyme, chervil)
Venison medallions:

Preparation
Step 1
Whip 100 g butter until fluffy. Add 2 egg yolks and spices to taste, 80 g white bread cubes and 10 g shaved parmesan. Mix in the 50 g chopped herbs and spread on cling film. Then chill.
Step 2
Sear the venison medallions on both sides in oil (about 1 minute per side). Season with salt and pepper, then leave to rest on a baking tray. Spread the chilled crust on top and bake in a preheated oven at approx. 180 degrees Celsius (approx. 10 minutes) until golden brown.
Step 3
Separate the Brussels sprouts from the stalk one by one (3 florets per portion) and toss in a pan with a little oil and salt just before serving.
Step 4
Dice the 2 onions and sauté (until golden). Dice 1 bulb of celery and sauté briefly. Add 2 diced potatoes and pour in 0.5 l stock and spices to taste.
Step 5
Cover and simmer gently for about 25 minutes, then add 50 knobs of butter and season to taste. Arrange all the individual components and serve.
