Walnut Coffee Nougat

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized, Confectioneries / By Chef Bruno

Nougat, a sweet delicacy with a rich history and a variety of legends surrounding its origins, continues to enchant and delight taste buds around the world. The name “nougat” itself, derived from the Latin “nux gatum” meaning nut pie, hints at the delicious nutty flavors that are at the heart of this confection. With its roots tracing back to the Roman Empire and old Byzantium, nougat has evolved into three main types. The most beloved version is white nougat, known as mandorlato or torrone in Italy, turrón in Spain. This delectable treat is crafted from a mixture of beaten egg whites, cooked honey, and a sugar base syrup, creating a delightful fusion of sweet and nutty flavors. The texture of nougat can vary from soft to hard, depending on the cooking process and temperature of the sugar. In some regions, nougat is even finished in the oven to achieve a toasted color and a firmer consistency. For example, the famous Nougat de Montélimar from France is required to contain at least 30% of dry fruits such as almonds and pistachios, ensuring a rich and satisfying crunch with every bite. The quality of nougat greatly depends on the percentage of dry fruits and honey used in the recipe. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall taste and texture of this timeless treat. And for those looking for an extra burst of flavor, the addition of candied orange peels brings a delightful citrusy zing to the mix.

Couscous

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized, Entrees / By Chef Bruno

Couscous is a North African dish of steamed durum wheat semolina that is traditionally paired with a stew spooned on top. Note that couscous was originally prepared with millet and not wheat. Usually served on Friday, but also offered during baptisms and wedding celebrations. The Tunisian couscous is rather based on fish. In Moroccan homes, making couscous is an expression of love, generosity, and hospitality. Moroccan couscous uses the finest wheat semolina that is traditionally steamed in a couscous steamer (couscoussier). Most couscous recipes though call for pretty much the same vegetables and spices which are carrot, turnip, parsnip, cabbage, squashes, pumpkin, tomatoes, and peppers. Spices are cinnamon, saffron, ginger, Ras El Hanout and Harissa. As lamb goes well with a hint of sweetness, dates, raisins, onion marmalade called tfaya are often added to the dish. Couscous Royal though, is served with grilled meat such as brochettes, lamb chops, and merguez. To make everyone agree, it would be fair to say that couscous is a Maghrebian specialty. Couscous became a staple in France too!
