An explosion of local and gourmet flavors
Fabien Ferdinand, the Chef of the gastronomic restaurant Le Chazal, located in Monêtier les Bains, opened the doors of his kitchens for a morning to give us a local and easy to make recipe. From the harvest to the plate, a return on a fresh and rich in flavors dessert!
It's just 10:00 am, our little rattan basket in hand, we leave by the back kitchen.
Two steps away from there, the nature offers itself to us!
On the way, all our senses are awake. Fabien is looking for the little treasures that can be found around here....
Here is the Pimprenelle (a delicate little green plant, with chiselled leaves, which has the taste of cucumber) both edible and medicinal, it goes perfectly with a small salad (but it is not the subject of the day).
A few more steps.....
Here it is, the larch or king of our forests in Serre Chevalier.
It thrives particularly in our valley, so much so that it is commonly called the "Briançon Pine". Also known as the "tree of light", it loves the sun and lets it shine through its soft needles. This elegant tree can also be cooked in different ways.
It will be the star of our recipe, sharing the stage with the strawberry!
2nd step: make a French meringue
Beat 60 grams of egg whites with 60 grams of caster sugar.
Incorporate 60 grams of powdered sugar with a maryse.
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and let it dry for 3 hours in the oven at 70°.
Use the top of the larch bud and scrape it.
Spread the small pieces of larch buds on the meringue tray.
Use the same recipe to make meringue shells.
Take a silicone mold ball, turn it over and apply the meringue.
Let dry for 3 hours in the oven at 70°.
3rd step
In a plate, place the made meringue shell.
Cut the 3 strawberries and mix them with the larch-flavored olive oil.
Add the strawberries to the meringue shell.
Add the French meringue tiles on top of the strawberries.
The dessert can be accompanied by a sorbet to balance it out.
A sorbet with oxalis clover has the particularity of being tangy and blending perfectly with the flavors of the dessert.
