Actions that make a difference

The times indicated are a guide: the power of the oven, the size of the pieces and the initial temperature of the ingredients can slightly modify the cooking. So look at the color, consistency and scent rather than the timer alone. Taste before adding salt, then gradually adjust the acidity, spices or seasoning. This simple method avoids hiding the main products and gives consistent results, even when preparing the recipe for the first time.
Service and preservation
When ready to serve, serve immediately in chilled glasses with a pineapple wedge and a few mint leaves. To create a harmonious meal, accompany it with fruit skewers, a savory brunch or lightly spiced appetizers. The quantities can be adapted to the number of guests while maintaining the same proportions. The drink is better minute; if necessary, keep the base without ice in the refrigerator and remix it just before serving. The nutritional values presented on the sheet remain estimates: they vary depending on the brands, the maturity of the products and the portions actually served. You can finally personalize the finish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil or a crunchy touch, without losing the original spirit of the recipe.
