I don’t know how was your week but I’m glad it’s the weekend! Well, I am mainly trying to avoid thinking about going back to work tomorrow :-(
This week at work was actually that bad, I had to take my bottle of « Brain Bleach » out of my drawer, this is usually a sign!!!!!! But he-ho, let’s think about something else!
It might sound crazy for some of you but, this year my family is coming to the UK to celebrate Christmas and, therefore, I’m starting to plan my meal!! Crazy I know!
However, before Xmas, we have a friend from France coming to see us next weekend! Phlau is actually coming on his pushbike and plan to travel about 100km every day before he can make it here! Pretty brave I think! So, after all these kilometres, I better make sure he is going to eat and drink like a King! I already have a « surprise drink » in mind for him and Mister Lapin…
Anyway, today’s recipe is Chocolate and orange tuiles.
Ingredients:
- 120gr dark chocolate
- 1 orange
- 20gr butter
- 1-tablespoon double cream
- 1-tablespoon caster sugar
Method
Zest the orange and
chop very finely the zest.
Boil a pot of water for the bain-marie. During that time, pour into a smaller pot or a bowl the chocolate, orange zest, butter and double cream.
Once the water is boiling, place the smaller pot into it and let the chocolate melt slowly (do forget to gently stir occasionally).
When your chocolate is ready, add the tablespoon of caster sugar, stir. This is done at the last minute to make sure the sugar will stay crispy when the tuiles are dry.
On a silicon-baking mat, make tuiles with the chocolate, usually the quantity of a big teaspoon.
Keep in a cool place or in the fridge for a few hours before eating.
Ta-dah!
