The winter sport of curling is also known as chess on ice, because in addition to precision and team spirit, the right tactics are also important. Two teams, each with four players, try to bring their curling stones on an ice rink closer to the center of a target circle than the opposing team. Curling is particularly popular in Canada, Scotland, Scandinavia and Switzerland. The Swiss elite teams are among the best in the world.
Ingredients 01
Rhine Valley Ribel Corn Polenta (variety of corn)
Once a staple diet of the poor, today a rediscovered specialty with a protected designation of origin: Rhine Vally Rheintal Ribel Corn can be prepared according to old recipes and served the way it was eaten in the past: with milkcoffee, applesauce or plum compote. Or you can reinterpret it: as a nutty, aromatic polenta that tastes good on its own or as a side dish. Either way, the “Rhine Vally Ribel” is worth a try.
Dish
Perch fillet and ribel corn polenta are combined in this warm starter. With roasted cauliflower, peanuts and chili it tastes delicious.
Ingredients 02
Lake Biel perch
Perch from Lake Biel or Lake Neuchâtel have black spots all over their bodies, which they develop in response to a parasite. Despite this black spot disease, the fish is of impeccable quality and can be eaten without hesitation.
Dish
Sautéed perch fillets and ribel corn polenta – that fits together perfectly.
Ingredient 03
