Ingredients for 4 servings
- You may wonder what this devil of a product is that the chef is presenting to us for cooking this recipe?
- In fact, "Matcha *" is a powder from a variety of green tea, its taste is slightly bitter with a very herbaceous finish; it pairs perfectly with that of shells which is slightly sweet.
- Shells in Matcha cream for 4 people:
- 21 oz (600 g) of shells soaked 3 times in a large amount of water, removing them by hand (sand)
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 glass of dry white wine
- flat parsley
- 1 small cauliflower, keeping only the florets (the rest can be saved for soup, for example)
- 0.8 cup (20 cl) of liquid cream (30%)
- 1 teaspoon of matcha tea powder
- 1.1 oz (30 g) of half-salt butter
- coarse salt, fine salt, freshly ground pepper and nutmeg zest.
