    pepper.

  • RED WINE & ORANGE BLOSSOM JUICE
    • Peach in red wine 240g
    • Orange blossom water 10g

    Keep the juice left over from the peaches in red wine and
    reduce it to a thick syrup. Add the orange blossom water
    and set aside.

  • Steps

    One day in advance, poach the peaches in the red wine
    and make the fromage blanc mousse.
    Immerse the fresh peaches in boiling water for a few
    seconds so you can peel away their skin. Dry the peach
    skin on a silicone mat in a hot cupboard for 12 hours.
    Make the pepper-flavored warqa pastry sheets the day
    you serve your dessert, and crumple them into a 10cm
    ring (see photo).
    Bake at 330°F (170°C) for 12 minutes and leave to cool.
    Make the red wine reduction.
    Dice the fresh peaches you peeled the day before.
    Drain the peaches poached in wine and brush them with
    the reduction.
    Place the crumpled sheet of warqa pastry on the plate,
    garnish with a small amount of diced peach and place a
    poached half-peach on top.
    Place a spoonful of fromage blanc mousse next to the
    cup you have created with your pastry and garnish with
    a dash of ground pepper and a dried peach skin.
    Finish by pouring the red wine sauce over the peach.
