Recipe: Pumpkin and Corsican Clementine Cream
Ingredients for 6 servings
- 16 oz (450 g) of ripe pumpkin flesh
- 1.1 qt (1 liter) of whole milk
- 1.75 oz (50 g) of half-salted butter
- 2 shallots, sliced (grey ones if you have them)
- 3 peeled Corsican clementines
- clementine leaves, washed thoroughly and dried
- 3.5 oz (100 g) of organic corn flakes
- some lemon thyme (if possible)
- a few drops of myrtle liqueur or powdered rosemary
- salt, pepper and nutmeg powder.
Step-by-step directions
1 Bring your milk to a boil with your clementine leaves and thyme, then remove from heat and let it sit covered for 15 minutes (to infuse).
2 Meanwhile, in a saucepan gently melt 1.75 oz (50g) of half-salted butter, then add your shallots and clementine slices, sweat for 5 minutes, then add the pumpkin cut into large cubes, season with salt, pepper and add nutmeg powder, cover and 5 minutes later add the milk strained through a sieve, cook very gently for 20 minutes.
3 Blend your preparation for quite a while, add a few drops of myrtle liqueur or some powdered rosemary if you have it, and taste to check the seasoning.
The next part is a bit more surprising: serve a bowl of corn flakes (organic corn flakes) in the center of the table and each guest will add some to their cream so it stays crunchy under the tooth.
For a more "festive" meal, you can add separately diced lobster, crayfish tails and even diced scallops pan-fried.
