TGRWT #3: Freeze Filtered Cold Strawberry Consomme

Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2007 3:28 PM

  • 500 gram strawberries: cleaned
  • 1 onion: mandolin sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves: crushed & dismantled
  • olive oil
  • black pepper & salt
  • 1 tablespoon corianderseeds
  • 5 dl water

Place onion slices, crushed garlic cloves and strawberries in a roasting pan [or in something like this]. Add olive oil & sprinkle salt & black pepper. Bake uncovered at 150 degrees Celsius for one hour. Let cool. Roast corianderseeds in soup pan. Add content roasting pan & water. Bring to simmer and simmer for one hour. Strain, skim fat, weigh the result, add in cold water soaked gelatin [1/200 of that weight] and dissolve gelatin in the broth. Cool & freeze the broth. Defrost frozen broth in a pan with strainer & coffee filters. In a day or two you have a cristal clear strawberry consomme.

Sweet, sour, salty, syrupy, strawberry. 

Food for my thoughts about strawberries & coriander the soup:

Interesting approach, especially since strawberries are seldom used in savory dishes.

How did the aroma of the strawberries survive the roasting and combination with onion and garlic?

It did survive very well. Garlic's sulfur (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=strawberry+sulfur)???

May I say you are a genius?:)
I bookmarked the bacon broth recipe when I first read it and your take on the method is wonderful. I don't understand where people get ideas like that from, but I sure would like to visit that place!

Excuse mw for my curiosity, but how strong was the flavour of coriander and did you like the taste of the dish?

Thanks! I'm not good in tasting. I didn't recognise the coriander seeds as such but I think that without the 'lemony' seeds the soup would have missed the 'sour' taste. I did like the taste of the soup - something for a warm summerday.
