|
|
> Octopus with pink pepper
The octopus can be prepared ahead of time. Let them cool in the cooking liquid, drain, dress with oil lemon juice and keep in the refrigerator, in an air-tight container. | |

| Second course | |
|
|
> Oven-baked salmon
Salmon meat is delicate. Good fat distribution makes the meat tender and juicy, but said tenderness is lost if the salmon is overcooked. | |

|
|
> Christmas Eve salad
Use an acidic variety of apple, such as Granny Smith, for this recipe. The firm texture of the apple's meat and its astringent flavour make this plate unique. | |

|
> Tropical dessert
Lime is a citrus fruit that, when fully mature, turns yellow in colour. Its skin is fairly thin and intensely aromatic as it is rich in essential oils. Lime is very commonly used for making cocktails. | |
