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.

It’s insane the way this has all unfolded. Gordon was my number one for years, until I found Marco. And then Marco was my favorite for years, until I found the Godfather. What a treat that all these generations later, we can still see the man who started it all for the family tree or chefs.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

The fact I get to watch this, what a gift. This is craftmanship at its best. Though, a thought I get is that it's not so much "zero waste" focused as modern cooking. Throwing small bits and pieces here and there and, while he does explain it, not using that delicious stock or showing how he saves it for later. I know he knows what he's doing, but it's a reaction I get after watching modern gastronomy focus so heavily on zero waste.
@kohala18153 ай бұрын
Wow, so clear, detailed, and straightforward he convinced me that I could actually do this. He taught it so well that even though I watched it only once, I’m pretty sure I remember everything he said. Sourcing (and affording) the ingredients might be the bigger challenge. I mean: trotters (hind ones only!); a ton of veal stock (a pricey multi-day project in its own right); sweetbreads (only the good ones!); morels; and port, Madera, and cognac-twice! How much is this dish in a restaurant-$200? But hey, maybe one for the bucket list. Finally, I get his point about a clean sauce, but there’s GOTTA be a use for that braising stock. Oh, and I’d make some fat ravioli with the leftover sweetbreads and mousseline.

I had the chance to eat this dish in his restaurant in the very early 1980’s with my best friend. 45 years later I have just sent this to still my best friend and asked him if he remembers. As an anecdote, at the end of the meal we decided on an Armagnac each. The trolley came and we were offered about 4 vintage Armagnacs. Not wanting to spend so much money my friend asked if they didn’t have anything else, hoping for a non vintage ordinary one. Instead the waiter brought out another two bottles of Armagnac. “ Yes sir, we have a 1937 and a 1922”!!
