A Tansy RecipeOrigin: Britain Period: Traditional |
|
Tansies are egg-based desserts (basically omelettes containing fruit) that, in former days at least, were flavoured with the tansy plant. The culinary use of tansy has declined appreciably, but the dessert (using a range of solid fruit) remains. There are several tansy recipes on this site, but this recipe represents a traditional apple tansy that includes chopped tansy leaves. Indeed, in the 15th Century a Tansye was the generic name for a herb-flavoured omelette. Ingredients:
2 eggs, lightly beaten 
A Tansy Preparation:Method:Mix together the cream, eggs, breadcrumbs, tansy, nutmeg and lemon zest in a bowl. Set aside for at least 10 minutes for the breadcrumbs to swell. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan, add the apples and fry gently for 5 minutes, or until tender. Pour the egg mixture over the apples then cook on a very low heat, withot stirring, until the mixture is almost firm. Remove the pan from the heat and place under a pre-heated grill. Continue cooking until the top of the dish is golden brown then cut into wedges and serve, sprinkled with a little brown sugar. |
