Crispy Leek Fritters and Hamburgers

I highly recommend making these crispy leek fritters. No one will guess what they're eating until you tell them. They come out wonderfully crisp and flavorful—the name says it all. Ingredients for 4 people 500g ground meat (beef, pork, chicken...), your choice. 250ml milk. 2 heaping tablespoons flour. 1 onion. 1 whole egg. salt and pepper (optional). olive oil. Ingredients for the crispy leek fritters white parts of 2 leeks. 1 egg. 120g flour + 2 tablespoons for coating. 150ml cold water. 1 packet of baking powder (the kind for making sodas and fizzy drinks). 1 pinch of salt. olive oil for frying. Preparing the hamburgers In a pan with a splash of oil, fry the meat. It doesn't need to brown much—just season with salt and pepper. Remove the meat from the pan, and in the same oil, fry the finely chopped onion. Return the meat to the pan and mix everything together well. Add the flour, cook it briefly, then like you're making a bécham...

  • 500g plain yogurt (unsweetened).
  • 400g raspberries (or other red berries).

Place the raspberries in another bowl with the orange juice and brown sugar.
Let them sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
To assemble the parfaits, divide the yogurt cream evenly among the four glasses.
Add the raspberries on top (save 4 for garnish) along with a bit of the macerating juice.
Pipe a rosette of whipped cream on top using a pastry bag, then place a raspberry right in the center.
Finally, dust everything with a touch of cinnamon.
 
Enjoy!
