15 years of MEININGER – that’s also 15 years of guest cuisine. And to mark this very special anniversary, we would like to treat you to 15 dishes that have been developed and rustled up for you by two teams of professional chefs. The MEININGER locations from Amsterdam to Salzburg form the focus of the ten main courses. They are complemented with starters and desserts – to ensure nothing is missing during the festivities. The dishes were of course prepared in the MEININGER guest kitchen. For with just a few simple tricks, gourmet meals can also effortlessly be conjured up in our guest kitchens – our professional chefs have provided impressive proof of this. Besides the locations, we also specified that the dishes should follow our MEININGER philosophy of being unconventional.
Regional cuisine and products are prepared and cooked using modern techniques. We wish you a wonderful time on your culinary journey through the MEININGER cities and trying out our recipes – bon appétit!

Sakura cress 1 box
Butter 200 g
Salt 3 tbsp

Preparations
Wash the endive and set aside to dry.
Cut the stems and upper halves off the artichokes, then remove the leaves from the outside so that only the artichoke bottoms remain.
Add 200 ml of lemon juice, the cane sugar and salt to the cooking water. Place the artichoke hearts in the simmering water and cook until soft. Cut the artichoke hearts into bite-sized triangles and fry in butter. Now add the cane sugar and allow to caramelise. Quench with teriyaki sauce.
Arrange the pieces of artichoke on the plates. Select the best endive tips to garnish the artichokes.
Drizzle over the sauce from the pan as salad dressing. Add a little cress for visual effect and the secret flavour. Season with coarse sea salt, pepper, olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
