Paul Ainsworth Instagram – Gariguette Strawberries 🍓
These stunning, early summer strawberries from Breton, are renowned for their aromatic, sweet, but equally tangy flavour, and their fondant like texture. The perfect strawberries to see us through until, in the coming weeks, they’re available more locally.
We serve the strawberries two ways, firstly, just brushed in olive oil and studded with roasted Sicilian pistachios. Secondly, macerated in jus de fraise, which we make from Sauternes, the remaining strawberry trim, hibiscus, and a sprinkling of verbena pepper. We reduce everything down, using this liquor to re glaze the strawberries, before serving atop a warm rhubarb purée, which we make using Robert Tomlinson’s outdoor Yorkshire rhubarb. We finish this with elderflowers, fennel pollen and a granita made from the remaining Jus de fraise.
We serve this alongside two accompaniments. Our signature roasted vanilla gelato, drizzled with the brilliantly intense Provençal Moulin de Cornille olive oil, and our rich, floral Leatherwood Honey Madeleine’s made with salted brown butter and a grating of arabica coffee. | Posted on 03/Jun/2024 00:52:53
