PARIS, April 8 — Zucchini, carrots, parsnips, lentils, quinoa and onions... so goes the recipe for the veggie burger patty that top chef Alain Ducasse is about to start serving at a Paris kiosk. Unlike many animal protein-free burgers, the superstar chef is taking the concept further by making the recipe entirely vegan.
Eating is a form of activism, according to Alain Ducasse, who underpinned this idea in a book, titledand taking the form of a manifesto, published in 2017. From favouring cereals and working with legumes to repurposing peelings, and rethinking techniques to throw away less and extract maximum flavour, the chef-turned-entrepreneur spells out his thinking, based on a more conscious approach to cooking, long in tune with environmental issues.
The legendary chef’s departure from the Avenue Montaigne establishment does not mean the end of Alain Ducasse’s involvement in the promotion of a more responsible approach to food. On the contrary. Friday, April 8, the chef will open a food stand named Burgal and located on the French capital’s Place de la Bastille, where a burger made without any animal protein will be sold. It’s a trendy field right now, and one with its share of food innovations, often coming from the US or Asia.
Burgal’s patty is made with zucchini, parsnips, quinoa, carrots, lentils and onions. And even vegans will be able to take a bite, since the golden bun contains no eggs, no butter and not even milk. Chef Ducasse promises that all the ingredients used are French, except for the cassava and pepper. The burger is complemented by an eggplant condiment and pickles.
On the side, you won’t find fries, but vegetable or chickpea chips. Count €7.50 for the burger, or €12.50 for a burger menu with a drink and chips. And there’s no need to hold back on dessert, as even the chocolate mousse is vegan. — ETX Studio
