Raspberries with Hibiscus Infusion
On a recent trip to Paris, I had a wonderful meal at the three star Michelin restaurant L’Arpège, and even got to interview Chef Alain Passard. Probably my favorite dish at the restaurant, and one I would recommend to anyone that goes there, is the beetroot tartare. I was very keen to get the recipe from Chef Passard, but sadly, it’s a secret.
However, he was more than happy to share a lovely dessert recipe with me: Raspberries with a Hibiscus Infusion. It’s a bright, tart dessert with a nice floral touch that’s just perfect for summer! And the best part is, its completely vegan!
