Apple Tansy RecipeOrigin: Britain Period: Traditional |
|
Tansies are herbed omelettes, originally so named because of the herb, tansy, used in them during the 15th Century. These days the term tends to be used for a fruit and egg based dessert. Ingredients:
25g unsalted butter 
Apple Tansy Preparation:Method:Melt the butter in a frying pan and when foaming add the pears and lemon zest. Cook gently over a low heat until the pears begin to soften (about 5 minutes) then add the sugar, mixing well, and cook until the sugar melts and the mixture becomes syrupy (about 5 minutes). Add the breadcrumbs a little and stir into the mixture so that they soak up the syrup. Only add just enough to soak up the liquid. Meanwhile add the egg whites to a clean bowl and whisk into soft peaks. In a separate bowl beat together the egg yolks, cream, nutmeg and Calvados. Slowly add the egg yolk mixture into the pear mixture, stirring slowly. Fold-in the egg whites and continue cooking on very low heat until the mixture sets. If needed, place the tansy under a low grill to allow the top to set. Dust with icing sugar, decorate with a few sprigs of mint and serve. |
