Smashbox by the chef: Joël Geismar's autumnal recipe
One month ago, we introduced the Smashbox together with Bellerose. We hope you had a lot of fun smashing and sharing it. But there's actually much more you can do with 3 giant biscuits and a little hammer. To prove it, we've asked 4 of our favorite chefs from Brussels to create a recipe with the Smashbox. And they've taken it pretty seriously.
Joel Geismar is a chef and the founder of El Camion and Garage à Manger, located in Ixelles. For his creation, he made the surprising decision to use speculoos in a savory recipe and create his own version of a classic French dish: blood sausage and apple compote. The result? A harmonious and subtle flavor combination where the taste of speculoos really enhances the dish.
