Quick & easy strawberry crumble
Strawberries are often used in dessert recipes. Even though I was much more inspired by the challenge of working them into my savoury recipes (see note below), I wanted to make them the highlight of a sweet creation.
I racked my brains to find a good way to do it, and realized that the strawberries were good on their own. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So here’s a classic crumble with fresh strawberry and maple syrup compote.
The hardest part is waiting 40 minutes for the crumble to bake before trying it. Imagine how good it would be with a scoop of ice cream!
Here are my savoury recipes with strawberries:
Salmon, Strawberry, and Spicy Mayonnaise Tartare
Strawberry & Feta Two-Colour Quinoa Salad with Pistachio Pesto
Fruit Tartare
