You know I can't resist anything "citrus" right?
As soon as Marta announced that this month's "ingredient of the month" are Oranges, I knew I'd be making a few orangy recipes for Marta and this one is just the first one.
A fabulous Clafoutis, very orangy and with blackberries, another of my favourite ingredients in the world!
Now, as a "citrus lover", how could I ever resist a book called "Citrus"? No way right?
I've got this book long time ago and, although I've already made lots of recipes from it, this one is the first one I'm sharing with you all and a very appropriate one for Marta's challenge.
The book, Citrus - from Catherine Phipps, is a delight book.
Full of great (savoury and sweet) recipes and very helpful information about citrus, the book includes descriptions of varieties and how to slice, dry, freeze, and properly handle different kinds of citrus. A must have, I'd say!
This specific recipe calls for dried orange zest and there's a recipe for it in the book but, it happened that, the day I was going to make this Clafoutis, I got a surprise gift in my mail box.
Manuela sent me, from Portugal, one of these absolutely stunning packs of dried fruit and vegetables and one of the tubes contains a mix of dried orange and rosemary.
A big thank you to Manuela for the amazing gift and a big round of applause and congratulations to "Um Grama" for the exceptional products and for the care and beauty of the packaging and presentation.
Outstanding and beautifully Portuguese!
Although the dried orange and rosemary mix is suggested to serve in starters, salads or with cheese, I thought that it would work perfectly with this Clafoutis and G!!! I was so right!! It worked perfectly and the hint of the rosemary just made this Clafoutis even better!
Give it a go and be impressed!
