The lemon and basil tart

€7,00

“Lemon tart is a classic of French pastry. I wanted to give it a Mediterranean touch: at the heart of the meringue, a lemon, basil and olive oil gel. Basil and lemon answer each other naturally, and a drizzle of olive oil rounds off the acidity, an idea that comes from a Spanish friend who used to eat olive oil and chocolate sandwiches. The lightly torched Italian meringue brings a touch of bitterness and a lot of lightness.”

A sweet pastry shell, almond cream and lemon cremeux, under a lightly torched Italian meringue with a lemon, basil and olive oil gel at the centre.
Size
