Eat it as a dessert or breakfast. Orange enhances the flavor of strawberries, and adding a few drops of orange liqueur works wonders (in that case, reduce the sugar).
variation: You can also create a colorful dessert by replacing oranges with mangoes and strawberries with blackberries.
material: For 4 people
- 3 sweet oranges
- Strawberries 225g
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar
To decorate:
- 1 sprig of fresh mint
- Slice the lime zest into thin slices.
Finely peel the zest from the lime using a potato peeler. Cut the skin into thin slices. Blanch for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain again and dry with kitchen paper. Garnish with orange or lemon zest in the same way.
Preparation:
Cut both ends of the orange with a sharp knife. Remove both the skin and white skin and peel well to maintain its shape.
Using a small, sharp knife, cut through the orange membrane to separate the pieces. Discard the membrane.
Remove the stems and leaves from the strawberries and discard. Slice lengthwise.
Place the fruit in a non-metallic bowl. Add lime zest and juice and sugar. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, place the fruit in a glass bowl and garnish the dessert with lime zest and mint sprigs.
