Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 40 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 1
Peel 3 tomatoes, cut in strips then in dice.

Put in a strainer, salt and mix. Leave to stand about one hour, to draw out some of the juice.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 2
Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing 4 tablespoons olive oil with 1 lime juice.

Salt and pepper, and add a little chives.

Add this vinaigrette to the drained diced tomatoes. Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 20 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 3
Prepare 250 g cauliflower tabbouleh but without tomatoes.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 7 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 4
Start asembling glasses: Put guacamole into each one up to ¼ of the height.

The best way is to use a forcing bag to put guacamole tidily right into the bottom of the glass.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 7 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 5
Using a fork, add diced tomato to another ¼ of the height (to halfway).

Be careful to not put too much vinaigrette with the tomatoes.

You might need to push the tomatoes down to compact them a little.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 7 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 6
Add another ¼ height of cauliflower tabbouleh ( push this down too if needed).

Stage 7 - ⌛ 7 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 7
For the last ¼, add houmous. Again, using a forcing bag is easier.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.
Four-tier glasses : Stage 8
Finally, add a pinch of chopped chives or a pinch of paprika or curry on top.

It's ready.

European glass
European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me).
