Callebaut creates a pink chocolate

Callebaut, a Belgian chocolate brand, has just created a pink chocolate. You will probably think it is filled with artificial colors… well no, this chocolate is 100% natural! It is the result of a meticulous selection of “ruby” cocoa beans and Barry Callebaut know-how. This ruby chocolate has a pink color and a fruity taste with fresh and tangy notes, and its flavors and color are obtained without any added aroma or coloring.

Eggplant balls (Polpette di melanzane)

These meltingly soft vegetarian balls are inspired by the recipe from chef Giuseppe Giovanni Di Martino of the restaurant Cappero Rosso in Pizzo Calabro.

Ingredients for 4 persons

  • 2 eggplants
  • 1 egg
  • a handful of black olives (pitted)
  • 15 capers
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • some fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon cumin powder
  • 20 grams of grated pecorino
  • 50 grams of bread crumbs
  • a dozen pine nuts

The Recipe

  1. Preheat your oven at 200°C. Wash the eggplants, cut the ends. Bake for about 30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. Check that they are well cooked with a knife.
  2. Take them out of the oven, let them cool. Remove the skin and take out the flesh in a salad bowl.
  3. Place the chopped garlic, parsley, capers, olives into the bowl. Add the pecorino, cumin and coarsely cut pine nuts, as well as a large pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything with a fork.
  4. In a bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Form small balls with the eggplant. Dip them in the egg and then in the bread crumbs.
  5. In a pan, heat some olive oil and fry them for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown. You can enjoy them with some arugula salad, or a homemade tomato sauce!

Massale

My friends Thomas and Arthur (after working at the delicious Zébulon and Pirouette) opened this little gem just a few months ago, in my favorite neighborhood, I of course named the… 11th! They spent months discovering amazing natural wines that they serve in this bright and warm space.

In the (small) kitchen, the talented Finnish chef Marlo Snellman (ex Frenchie and Verjus), serves us perfect and daring dishes. The entrées already conquered me: a melting calf liver and celery remoulade with punchy zest of lemon, or this smoked mackerel with crisp hazelnuts. Audacious, the poultry is very pink, and plays on its bed of cabbage and kale, perfectly seasoned.

The lunch menu at 17 € is unbeatable, I could eat there every day!

Lunch: formulas 17€ (starter-main) or 22€ (starter-main-dessert)
Evening: 32-46 €
Saturday evening: wine bar

John Weng

Niché dans une ruelle agréable à proximité de marché d’Aligre, entre motifs asiatiques et suspensions en paille, John Weng offre une cuisine fusion fraîche et raffinée. On y sirote un thé matcha glacé ou une infusion au litchi, en attaquant les wontons frits au cream cheese, complètement régressifs. La salade de poulpe, sésame, daikon mariné et algues est un délice, tout comme le rafraîchissant tartare de saumon au lait de coco (version cabillaud et citronnelle tout aussi parfaite). Côté plat on se laisse tenter par le magret de canard sauce teriyaki et orange, ou l’excellent tataki d’angus, fondant à souhait. Pour ceux qui ont encore faim, le risotto croustillant aux crevettes et sa sauce cacahuètes vous ravira. On termine en beauté avec ces jolis rouleaux de printemps colorés aux fruits, perles de japon à la fève tonka, ou la délicieuse glace au gingembre confit. 

Entrées de 8,50 à 11 euros
Plats de 13,50 à 23 euros
Desserts de 7,50 à 9 euros
