IMPROMPTU BARBECUE WITH CRÉMANT DE BORDEAUX

Get your garden table and chairs out and a large parasol. Light the barbeque and grill a few lamb cutlets. Prepare some large potatoes for baking in the ashes, a mirabelle tarte tatin and accompany it with a bottle of Crémant de Bordeaux.

 

Recipe : mirabelle tarte tatin

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients (for 6 people):

  • 1 flaky pastry
  • about 400 g of mirabelles
  • powdered sugar
  • a bit of salted butter

Recipe:

Mix the sugar with a bit of water in a layer cake pan. Heat it until it becomes caramelised. Cut the mirabelles in half and remove the stones. Place them in the cake pan with their insides against the caramel. Ensure the bottom is well covered by them. Sprinkle with bits of butter. Cover with the flaky pastry pushing it well into the space between the fruits and
the side of the cake pan. Make a hole in
the centre of the pastry so that the
steam can escape during cooking.
Place in an oven at 200°C (thermostat
6 - 7). Leave to cook for about 30 minutes.
Take the tart out of the oven when the pastry is
a good golden colour. Turn the cake pan out onto a
plate as soon as it is removed from the oven.
Serve hot, warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla
or pistachio ice cream.
