Are you ready to enjoy spring on the plate in 30 minutes, preparation and cooking included? It's here that it happens.
That's it, the long-awaited spring has made its comeback in our lives! Little buds blooming here, delicate flowers there, and lots of green on the stalls are on the menu this season. Among the vegetables to put in the spotlight in your basket in spring: asparagus; artichokes; radish; beans; young spinach shoots; but also early vegetables like new potatoes. As some products are very fresh, we play the raw-cooked duo on the plate to bring texture and diversity to the tasting. Also, as the weather is suitable, we give pride of place to fresh cheese, with its comforting milky flavor. Faisselle, ricotta, bush, cottage cheese, petit-suisse, but also labneh or fresh goat's cheese can be found this season on toast, in quiches, or with pasta.
The return of salad
Spring also marks the big return of salad. Colorful, refreshing, cheesy, sweet and sour, served warm or cold, salad is a friend of sunny days. Pretty fresh shoots; peas or crunchy beans; cheese cubes; poched egg ; garlic bread croutons; charcuterie from our regions; or even vinegared onions, she accepts all fantasies. If you want it to be complete, you will need to include animal or vegetable proteins, but also cereals, in addition to vegetables. Obviously, toasted oilseeds and seeds complement this type of dish wonderfully.
Another ideal option this season, the toast + mixed salad duo. So the toast can be hot, and the salad cold, but these are just a few ideas among the 30 recipes to follow.
