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.

Oat financiers for Louise
Oat financiers for Louise
These moist little petit-four cakes are called 'financiers' in French, as they are similar in shape to gold ingots! They go very well with tea or coffee. In this version, the usual ground almonds are replaced with rolled oats, blended to a powdery texture.

Boulangère potatoes
This great classic of French home cooking consists of sliced potatoes with slivers of bacon between, on a bed of onion fondue, moistened with poultry (or beef) stock and baked in the oven. It takes a fairly long time, but is so good, and reheats very well.
