Preparation

Preheat oven to 150°C, fan oven mode.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients without the dried fruit, in order with a tablespoon and then by hand to form large nuggets. When everything is well combined, add the very coarsely crushed dried fruit last and gently fold in.
Pour the mixture onto a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper and form large nuggets with your hands by combining the ingredients and "pressing nuggets" with your hands.
Note: If the texture is not amalgamated enough and large nuggets do not form, add a little liquid (compote and/or almond purée). Even out the surface and make a large hole in the center, without Granola, to evenly cook the nuggets..
Bake for about 40/45 minutes in a preheated oven at 150°C.
After 20 minutes and then after 35 minutes, take out the baking sheet and very gently mix the nuggets The Granola should be golden brown.
Take the baking sheet out and let it cool down completely before pouring the granola into a glass jar and store it in a dry place away from the light for 1 to 2 months.
Enjoy with yogurt, milk, compote... Whatever you like!

 

Lemon glazed hearts

 

claireaumatcha - citron recettes
Ingredients for 6 people

2 large yellow lemons + 1 large lime + their fine zests = 105g lemon juice in total
150g sweetened condensed milk = 1 tube
200 mL full cream or very cold whipping cream

To serve:
Lime zest
Roasted slivered almonds
A few chopped mint leaves
Fruit coulis or strawberries or raspberries or mixed berries

Preparation

Finely zest the 2 lemons and the lime and squeeze their juice. Pour into a bowl and add the condensed milk. Mix well with a tablespoon.
Whip the very cold cream (kept in the refrigerator and put in the freezer for 30 minutes so that it rises well) into a firm whipped cream with an electric mixer or a food processor fitted with a whisk attachment, starting at low speed and rapidly increasing the speed to maximum.
Add the whipped cream to the bowl of lemon condensed milk in batches, mixing gently with a spatula or tablespoon.
Pour the preparation into 5 to 6 silicone molds and freeze for at least 6 hours. It will keep for several weeks.
Arrange the plates: remove the ice creams from the molds and let them thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes or put them in the microwave for a few seconds, as I did, so that the texture is perfect: icy but not too icy!
Add a few more lime peels and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve with fresh fruit, raspberry coulis or lemon curd for extra lemon flavor or nothing at all!

Preparation

Start with the preparation of the meringue:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Using an electric mixer or a food processor fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, starting at low speed and gradually increasing the speed.
When the whites are almost set, start adding the sugar slowly, tablespoon by tablespoon. Continue beating until the meringue is glossy. Stop the mixer, wait 5 seconds and then turn it back to high speed for another 5 to 10 seconds. Add the teaspoon of vinegar and the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and mix gently with a spatula.
Using a piping bag, pipe the meringue thickly onto the parchment paper. This will be the base of the Pavlova. Form small meringue domes all around. You can also choose 4 medium meringues or 8 small meringues.

 

Put in the oven at half height and immediately lower the temperature to 120°C. Bake for 1 hour. If it browns too quickly, lower the oven rack and place the pavlova lower in the oven, it should be crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. Wait at least 30 minutes before handling and removing from the paper, this step can be done the day before with no problem. The meringue will keep perfectly well at room temperature, covered with aluminum foil, in a dry place.
Before serving: preparation of the cream and fruits
For the whipped cream, place the cream in the freezer for 15 minutes, it will set much more easily. Whip it with an electric mixer or food processor with the mascarpone and add the vanilla sugar and powdered sugar at the end. Cover with the fruit and sprinkle with chocolate chips, cut into nice pieces and serve with raspberry coulis added directly to the plates.
Serve immediately or refrigerate (4 hours maximum to avoid soaking the meringue).

Cauliflower Semolina with Spices

 

claireaumatcha - ingrédients semoule
Ingredients for 4 persons

The florets of a nice cauliflower
1 tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil
A nice pinch of turmeric
A small pinch of paprika
3 small spring onions, finely chopped

 

preparation

Place the cauliflower florets, cut into small pieces, in the bowl of the blender fitted with the blade and press Pulse several times. Pulse several times to obtain a semolina-like texture, but not too many times to avoid turning it into a puree. Ideally, you should not put all the cauliflower in at once, but rather proceed in several stages, removing the semolina already formed from the blender each time.

You can also use a manual grater if you do not have a food processor.
Heat a frying pan on medium / high heat and melt a tablespoon of coconut or olive oil then add the semolina obtained, the spices and make return about ten minutes while stirring regularly. It must brown a little. Add salt and pepper. Set aside. Just before serving, off the heat, add the finely sliced spring onions and mix.

This semolina can be kept in the fridge for a week without any problem, without the spring onions, and can be easily reheated in the microwave.

Cut squares out of the dough with a pizza cutter or a good sharp knife or cookie cutters. Sprinkle with ground pepper.
