💡Advice 💡


Botargo (also called boutargue) is a Mediterranean preparation of salted and dried mullet eggs.

It is found in good fishmongers or caterers in the form of ovoid pucks coated with white wax, which must be removed before using the poutargue.
If not, use cod eggs, sold in vacuum orange bags at the supermarket or supermarket fishmongers.

You will not be able to grate them but only crumble or slice them. Their flavor is a little less fine than that of botargo, but they are also less salty and less expensive.

You will need a stove and a lemon press

Ingredients:
crepes
1 orange
1 lemon
1 spoon of Grand-Marnier
100g of butter



Instructions :
  • Start by squeezing the orange and lemon. Leave the juice aside for later.
  • Line the bottom of your pan with pre-heated powdered sugar, then as soon as it begins to caramelize, add the citrus juice you just pressed.
  • On a low heat, once you get a light-colored caramel, put the pieces of butter in the pan.
  • When the butter is melted, flambé your preparation with a spoon of Grand Marnier.
  • You can add your pancake in the pan: heat it on each side for one to two minutes in your preparation. It's ready!




💡Advice💡

You can also add Grand Marnier directly to your crepe dough! You can arrange some orange wedges or even some marmalade on your pancake to embellish the presentation.
