Flavor pearls and spheres: the little detail that transforms the dish
A beautiful plate doesn't always require a long recipe. Sometimes, a few pearls are enough. And, for once, you can bring them to your mouth rather than wear them around your neck.
Pearls or spheres: what's the difference?
Pearls add small touches of flavor, spread across a bite or a plate. Their thin shell contains a liquid center that is released when tasted.
The Yuzu & Timut pepper spheres, measuring about 20 mm, offer a more generous bite. They can be enjoyed whole to release their liquid center, or pierced to mix their juice with the preparation. Two ways to surprise, without taking out the little chemist's kit.
Three easy pairings to try
- Goat cheese and a refined touch: on a small goat cheese toast, add a few white balsamic condiment & summer truffle pearls. A simple pairing for an aperitif.
- Fish and freshness: finish a bite of cooked fish with Lemon & pepper pearls. Taste before adding salt or lemon.
- Red fruits and citrus: accompany a small plate of red fruits with a Yuzu & Timut pepper sphere. You can pierce it to spread its juice according to your taste.
The right touch: a finishing touch, not an avalanche
Start with a small amount, taste, then adjust. Place the pearls delicately with a spoon, at the last moment. They should accompany the dish, not steal all the conversation. For the spheres, handle them with care to preserve their shell until serving.
