Mirabelle pie

21 mar

Here is a typical recipe from Franche-Comte, a not really well-known but very pretty countryside region of north-east of France. It is made with mirabelle, a small yellow plumb with a sweet taste. Try this pie, I hope that you will like it!

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Very easy
Ingredients (for 6 people):
- 1 pack of unroll puff pastry
- 650 grams of mirabelles (small yellow plumbs)

Unroll the pastry and put it in a tin. Make holes in it with a fork.
Remove the kernel of the mirabelles and put them on the tin.
Cook in the oven for around 30 minutes thermostat 210 degrees.

Tip: if you can find mirabelles, you can do this recipe with plumbs.

Strawberries and basil salad

05 juil

The association of strawberries and basil can be surprising, but trust me, they really taste good together! Basil spices up the sweetness of the strawberries and brings some freshness to this salad. You are going to love it (and your guests to!)!

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients (for 2 persons):

- 200 gr of strawberries

- 4 leaves of basil

- 1 drop of orange blossom water

- 4 tablespoons of brown sugar

Rinse the strawberries and remove their stalk. Then cut them into dices and out into a bowl. Add the basil leaves cut into thin slices, the orange blossom water and the sugar.

You can serve right away put it is better to leave the salad rest for around 10 minutes before serving so the ingredients can mix together and reveal their flavour.

Tip: You can replace half of the brow sugar by vanilla sugar to give a more exotic taste.
