The Zenne Pistolet Cantillon

The pistolet is a Belgian bread the size and shape of an ovoid hamburger bun. Valérie Lepla in her Pistolet Original shops (Sablon & Schumann) has raised the pistolet to higher culinary peaks with lunch-worthy combinations of locally sourced ingredients. Dirk Myny, chef and owner of the restaurant Les Brigittines has created a quintessential Brussels dish the Zenne Pot with sauerkraut that he creates with gueuze instead of white wine, blood sausage and dried sausage cured in gueuze. Jean Van Roy is the brewer at Cantillon Brewery, a venerable Brussels brewery that makes the classic wild fermentation beers of the Senne valley: the Lambics and Gueuzes and Krieks. The three Brussels food providers have joined forces to create the Zenne Pistolet Cantillon. They tell us about it. www.cantillon.be www.lesbrigittines.com www.pistolet-original.be
