Strawberry flambé
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Flambé is a cooking technique that involves flaming a strong alcoholic beverage. During this process, the alcohol burns off, leaving behind flavor and aroma. Any strong alcohol of at least 45% alcohol by volume is suitable for flambé. The alcohol should be warm, as it will ignite easily, and the stronger the alcohol, the longer it will burn. This will make the strawberries softer, though the surface will be slightly charred. Flambéed strawberries can be served on their own or with a scoop of ice cream. The finished dessert is ready to be served.
