Red Pepper Tuile
Ingredients
Red pepper purée
- 5 red peppers
- 3½ fl oz of olive oil
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 1 sprig of thyme
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- salt
Tuiles
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- 1 tbsp of water
- ⅓ fl oz of liquid glucose (or sugar syrup)
- 1⅔ fl oz of lemon juice
- salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180°C).
- For the red pepper purée, halve the peppers, cut the cores out, discard the seeds and then cut each half pepper in half again.
- Heat the olive oil in a roasting tray. When it is hot, add the peppers and then the rosemary, thyme, garlic cloves and sea salt.
- Cook in the oven for approximately 30-40 minutes or until all of the ingredients are well roasted
- Remove the rosemary stalks and any thyme twigs, then place into a blender and purée to a very fine texture. Pass through a fine sieve or tamis and leave to cool
- To make a sugar syrup, combine the sugar and water in a pan. Place over a medium heat, stirring constantly, to completely dissolve the sugar before the mixture begins to boil. Heat gently until the mixture starts to thicken, remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- To make the tuiles, add the syrup, glucose, lemon juice and salt to the red pepper purée. Spread the purée into the tuile mold.
- Reduce oven temperature to 190ºF (90°C) and place the molds in the oven for about 2½ hours.
- Leave to cool until the tuiles have hardened completely then remove from the mold.
As an alternative, the mixture can be spread very thinly onto a plastic or silicon mat and baked as per the directions about then cut unto strips and shaped into rolls or other shapes. They could be shaped into cones to serve as a holder of purées or other appetizer mixture. See my equipment page for cone molds.
