What to Do with Fresh Strawberries
June 23rd 2010 06:38
It's late June and that means one thing - strawberries are in season and should be just about reaching their peak in some regions. When strawberries are picked before they are ripe, as they are when they need to be shipped out of the local area, they never really reach their potential. They get red, but the sugars never really develop properly.
This means that when they are in season in the local area, things are even sweeter. So in honor of this lovely time, I thought I'd give you some suggestions on what to do with them. Though not all of these suggestions are from Mediterranean recipes, eating in season, local produce is definitely a Mediterranean principal.
Topping for Cake
Slice fresh strawberries and place in bowl. Add a splash of Riesling wine and a tablespoon sugar. Let the mixture sit for about an hour before spooning on cake (or biscuits, or cookies, or yogurt....)
Strawberries and Cream
Slice fresh strawberries and put in a bowl. Add a dollop of fresh whipped cream or pour a little fresh cream over. I personally prefer the fresh cream. Makes a great snack!
Strawberry Parfait
I love making a simple strawberry parfait for breakfast. Layer strawberries, Greek yogurt, and granola in a pretty glass dessert cup. You can repeat the layers more than once if you want.
