Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 3 min.
Toasted flaked almonds : Stage 1
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).

Mix 150 g flakeds almonds, 3 tablespoons sugar syrup and 1 teaspoon orange flower water with a fork.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
Toasted flaked almonds : Stage 2
Spread the almonds evenly on a cooking parchment sheet on a baking sheet (important as the almonds are very sticky when they come out of the oven).

Try as far as possible to make sure the almonds are not touching each other.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 20 min.
Toasted flaked almonds : Stage 3
Put in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.

Stage 4
Toasted flaked almonds : Stage 4
Watching very carefully for coloration.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.
Toasted flaked almonds : Stage 5
Immediately after taking them out of the oven, unstick the almonds from the sheet with a wooden spatula and let them fall onto the worktop. They will still be a bit soft while hot, but not for long.

Separate them quickly as far as possible.

After a few minutes (or seconds maybe), the almonds will cool and harden. They will become very crunchy and are now ready.

Pilau rice
Pilau rice
Pilau rice (also called "restaurant rice" in France) is a way of cooking rice that's very different from using a rice-cooker. In this recipe, the rice is first "pearled" with onion in olive oil, then chicken stock is added, and the whole lot is put in the oven. This produces a very tasty moist rice, which can easily be kept waiting without drying out.
