The end of the year is almost upon us, and Le Roy René and the culinary blogger Virginie Besançon
bring you this appetizing sweet and sour recipe: a calisson and wild mushroom soup.
Réalisation
Heat the single cream for the soup with the almond milk.
Grate the parmesan and add the hot cream and 4 tbsp calisson cream.
Add pepper.
Reduce on low heat, stirring from time to time, for 15 to 20 minutes.
You should obtain a creamy velouté. If it is too thick add a little cream or almond milk.
Clean and chop the mushrooms.
Cook them with the olive oil on a high heat in a frying pan or a wok.
Let all the water evaporate and then add salt, pepper and a little chopped garlic. The mushrooms should be golden.
Leave to one side.
Mix the whipping cream with the calisson cream and whip.
Keep in the fridge.
Just before serving, pour the hot velouté into a small bowl, put a generous dollop of whipped calisson cream on top and then add the mushrooms.
You can sprinkle a little good Madagascar pepper on top and decorate with a sprig of fresh thyme or a sage leaf.
Our tip
You can use good button or oyster mushrooms instead of wild mushrooms.
Cow’s milk or any other vegetable milk can replace the almond milk.
Avoid using ready-grated parmesan as it tends to make the soup lumpy.
