Every day during the summer, at 6:56 am and 8:43 am, Marion Sauveur gives you an idea of a recipe to brighten up your taste buds. Today, the apricot tarte tatin.
Every day, we rediscover our local products every day with Marion Sauveur. This Monday, apricot is a fruit with orange skin, soft flesh and a very sweet taste.
If today, apricots grow around the Mediterranean Basin, this has not always been the case. The apricot tree is native to China. They were found there, 5,000 years ago, in the wild. In the Middle Ages, it did not have a good rating in France where it is accused of causing fever. It was not until the 18th century that its culture developed.
The apricot should be picked when ripe because it will not ripen when picked.
In the market, the ideal would be to be able to feel it: the apricot must be flexible, so that there is even a little hollow when you feel it. Do not be fooled by its color, it arrives before it is ripe.
Once at home, consume it quickly.
How can we cook it?
In pie! But come on, a tatin version.
The important thing for this recipe is to choose the apricots well, not too ripe so that they do not crush otherwise we will end up with mashed potatoes.
We start by making a dry caramel with the sugar. We add the butter.
When the caramel has taken well, add the apricot halves in which we plant a few sprigs of rosemary and let them caramelize for five minutes on each side.
We collect the apricots and put them tightly on the pie dish, the rounded part at the bottom of the mold. Caramel on top. We cover the puff pastry by folding the edges of the pastry well inside the mold and on the pastry, we sprinkle a few sprigs of rosemary.
Direction the oven at least 20 minutes at 220 degrees, the pastry must be golden brown.
