Spring Rolls with Corsican Pomelo
To start this meal lightly, we present an original version of spring rolls. Inspired by Mediterranean flavors, these rolls highlight the acidity and freshness of Corsican pomelo. Wrapped in a thin and flexible rice paper, each bite reveals a crunchy mix of colorful vegetables and aromatic herbs, promising Refreshing Tastes at every tasting.
Preparation of the Rolls
The preparation of spring rolls begins with the selection of ingredients. Choose fresh and crunchy vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and radishes, which will add crunch and color. In a bowl, mix the vegetables with mint and coriander leaves for a herby aroma. Then, prepare the rice paper by soaking it in hot water until it is soft. Carefully wrap the vegetables and pomelo in the paper, making sure to tightly seal the ends to prevent the filling from escaping.
Goat Cheese and Spinach Lasagna
The main dish is a revisit of one of the classics of Italian cuisine. Goat Cheese and Spinach Lasagna combines creaminess and flavor while being completely vegetarian. Each layer of pasta is alternated with a filling of creamy goat cheese mixed with fresh spinach. The finishing touch is a light béchamel that envelops everything, creating a beautifully golden gratin. This dish is perfect for pleasing both adults and children.
Key Elements of the Dish
The lasagna is prepared in several simple steps. Start by preparing the filling with goat cheese and spinach, seasoning with pepper and spices to enhance the flavors. For the béchamel, melt butter, incorporate flour, then gradually add milk while stirring. Once the mixture thickens, add a bit of nutmeg for a touch of warmth. Then assemble the lasagna by alternating lasagna sheets, filling, and béchamel, and bake until you achieve a nice golden crust.
Fresh and Candied Strawberry Tart
To elegantly conclude this meal, nothing beats a strawberry tart. This pastry creation showcases the first juicy strawberries of the season, paired with candied strawberries for an explosion of flavors. On a crunchy pastry base, the fresh and candied strawberries intertwine, creating a perfect balance of textures. A thin layer of vanilla pastry cream harmonizes everything, offering an ideal dessert to celebrate the return of beautiful days.
Secrets to the Perfect Tart
To make this tart, start by preparing the sweet pastry by mixing flour, sugar, and butter before adding the eggs. Roll out the dough into a mold and bake it blind to obtain a golden base. Meanwhile, prepare the pastry cream by whisking egg yolks with sugar and flour, then gradually adding hot milk. Once the cream thickens, let it cool and spread it over the pre-baked crust. Finally, arrange the fresh and candied strawberries harmoniously before serving.
