Recipe(tried): Pamplemousee a la Menthe (French Grapefruit with Mint and White Wine) |
Salads - Fruit, Gelatin |
This is one of the many signature dishes served in D'Chez Eux (At Their Place) in Paris. This lovely, refreshling and light dessert would be the perfect finish to a rich and copious meal, or a nice addition to a brunch buffet. oddly, it works very well when i serve "Asian Indian food"! something you can (actually MUST) prepare the day before serving. a tedious procedure to peel and section the fruits but it will give you a great reward and plenty of compliments!! (i tend to eat those not-so-pretty ones when i do peel the fruit! ) the recipe also works well substituting 8 fresh peaches for the grapefruit. before serving, remove the mint sprigs and discard. serve each portion garnished with a fresh mint sprig and as they do at D'Chez Eux, a big crock of vanilla ice cream on the side.
