Caramelised sugar basted over tart juicy apricots over a pillowy cream oat and nutty millet pastry; Apricot Tarte Tatin.
Tantalise your taste buds with something soft and moist. And, indulge.
This dish will topple your belief that vegan food can’t be super yummy.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a lavish dinner party. And, nothing short of a scrumptious dish that’ll be zapped up in minutes
- When you feel like relaxing with a bottle of wine and a natter with your bestie. Come on you have all the latest shenanigans to mull over and dissect
- When you’ve just done the longest of bike rides. And, my words, your legs are giving way. A little sugar rush will have you jostling for air or another bike ride
Apricot Tarte Tatin was inspired when heading over to Lille on the Eurostar and having day out taking in the sites and gorgeous yummy food.
Apricots are native to the Mediterranean and are cultured even in the UK. They grow during spring and summer when its warm and lush. To grow, they need much sunshine. Its their blushed reddish orange velvety skin that makes them a sure delight to bite into; pure utter sweet succulent yumminess.
Apricot Tarte Tatin is vegan, gluten-free and French cuisine.
