Cwe decided in ourbirthA table for all years this year can be made in one of two ways. On the one hand, traditions may be fulfilled more than ever: the foods we associate with Christmas can provide a comforting reassurance that has been missing for much of 2020. I totally understand that, but of course there are reasons why serving a meal isn't about "the way to do it", but rather flying around the world for inspiration. After months when you can't go anywhere, why not head to an international fair and feast your eyes on a light Southeast Asian-inspired appetizer, a celebratory Mexican main course, and a Mauritian-inspired cake? After all, we're all in this together.
Shrimp Pancakes Orange Lettuce
I'm not sure whether to call these bao dumplings, pot stickers or rolls. However, I am sure that it will be a very popular appetizer or snack on any festive table.

he is like that12. Pass 4
300 g of raw and peeled shrimps
1 clove of garlic, obrane i grubo posiekane
2.5 teaspoons (5 g) fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
¼ teaspoon green (or black) pepper, coarsely crushed
3⅓ tablespoons (10 g) chopped chives
½ teaspoon of roasted sesame oil
salt and black pepper
2 lettuces
1 cup sunflower oil broth
1 cup of sesame soup, baked
sos
50 ml of fresh orange juice(i.e. 2-3 oranges) or fresh orange juice
3 cups of lemon juice
¼ tablespoon of fish sauce
1½ teaspoons of maple syrup
½ a small clove of garlic, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon chopped chives
5 g (2½ teaspoons) fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
½ pepper, chopped
Place the first six ingredients and a third of a teaspoon of salt in the small bowl of a food processor and pulse until a paste forms.
Cut off the lower part of the head of lettuce and divide it into 12 larger leaves (reserve the rest for another recipe). Rib side up, with a sharp knife, scrape the thickest part of the lettuce ribs so that the leaves can be easily rolled up without breaking.
Lay all the lettuce leaves rib side down on the counter and place about 30 grams of the shrimp mix in the center of each leaf. Roll them up and add the shrimp mixture on all sides; the natural stickiness of the shrimp should help seal the package. Place seam side down in a medium baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix all the spices and 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.
Pour the oil into a large non-stick skillet with a lid and heat over medium heat. When hot, place lettuce slices seam side down, cover and cook for three and a half minutes until golden on the bottom.
Arrange the dumplings on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot with the sauce.
Peppers celebration(above)
stuffed peppers, a classic Mexican dish from Puebla consisting of roasted, stuffed, breaded and fried peppers (traditionally poblanos, I used romanos) served with salsa. This combination is strong and is a celebratory dish worth the effort. If you want to go further, you can roast the peppers and make the salsa up to two days in advance.

6 mixed red and yellow romaine peppers
200g evening mozzarella, roughly torn into small pieces
200 g enemy pass, roughly divided into small pieces
Sal
800 ml of sunflower oil, to fry
2 limes, slice and serve
for red salsa
3 cups of soup with olive oil
1 cup unsalted butter for the soup
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
300 g of sweet red cherry tomatoesas date
½ dried habanero malagueta(or ¼ teaspoon regular chili flakes if you prefer less heat)
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 teaspoon of salt
1 in. Tomato soup
120 ml of water
quality
4 eggs, separated
80 g of wheat flour
½ teaspoon of salt
for fresh sauce
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (seeds and pulp removed and discarded if you prefer less heat)
1 tablespoon of coriander leaves, chopped
2 cups of soup with olive oil
1½ cups lime juice soup
1 pinch of salt
Turn the oven rack to the highest setting. Cut a slit along one side of each pepper, making sure they stick together at the top and bottom. Place the sliced peppers side up on the wire rack on a large baking sheet and bake near the top of the oven for seven minutes. Carefully turn the peppers over so that they are cut side down and bake for a further seven minutes, until the skin is blackened and bubbling in places. Remove the tray from the oven and let the peppers cool with the hole on the wire rack facing down so that the liquid drains off. I'm too lazy to peel peppers - you don't really have to, and I like charred skins - but if you want to, do it when they're cool enough to handle.
In the meantime, make the salsa. Place all ingredients except tomato paste and water in a large saucepan, add a teaspoon of salt and cook over high heat for six minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes until tomatoes and onions are soft and golden. Put the contents of the saucepan in a blender, add tomato paste and water, mix well and set aside.
For the batter, place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk and beat on high speed for 1 1/2 minutes until medium peaks form. Beat the yolks, then mix them lightly and pour the flour and salt into the whites until combined. Transfer to a wide container.
Put the mozzarella and feta cheese in a bowl, add a pinch of salt. Turn the peppers cut side up, put them in the curd, being careful not to pierce the skins, and press them together with your fingers so that they stick together.
In a small bowl, combine all the fresh salsa ingredients with a pinch of salt.
Heat the oil in a large skillet with high sides. When hot (180°C if you have a temperature probe), dip the peppers three at a time into the batter, making sure they are completely covered in the batter. Carefully drop the three peppers into the hot oil and fry for two minutes on each side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain, sprinkle with salt flakes and repeat with the remaining three peppers and pasta.
To serve, heat the salsa and pour it onto a plate. First sprinkled with fried peppers, then fresh parsley, and then squeezed quarters of lemon.
Pineapple Ring of Fire
Based on a traditional Moorish dessert, this savory cake is a great sight to see as the rum burns and burns all around you. You need to use tamarind from this block, not store-bought paste (which can be too salty). Serve with vanilla or coconut ice cream.

Tamarind caramel
50 g of tamarind piecessoak in 100 ml of hot water for 15 minutes
200 g of brown sugar
60 ml of cold water
1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 pinch of salt
1 medium pineapple,Peeled, pitted and sliced into 5mm crescents (you'll need about 600g of pineapple, so treat this as a chef's treat)
for shortcrust pastry
225 g of unsalted butter, in room temperature
225 g of light brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
225 g of wheat flour
50 g of coconut flakes
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon Aleppo chilli flakes(or ½ teaspoon chilli flakes)
2 scoops of baking powder
1 pinch of salt
4 large eggs, tap lightly
50 ml of dark rum
Preheat oven to 200C (fan 180C/390F/Gas 6) and line a 23 cm round cake tin with baking paper.
Sift the soaked tamarind to collect the seeds and collect all the paste in a small bowl (discard the seeds).
To make the caramel, place the sugar, water, vanilla, ginger and a pinch of salt in a large sauté pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes - resist the urge to stir but turn the pan. Give the mixture an even dark golden color from time to time. Add the tamarind - be careful as it may spill - once combined, add the pineapple and mix gently so as not to break the slices. Cook for a minute, remove from heat and turn the pineapple slices with a spoon so that they are caramelized on both sides. composure.
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla paste on medium speed for 15 minutes until light and fluffy. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice to ensure an even mix.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, coconut, cinnamon, star anise, chili flakes, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add half of the egg and half of the flour mixture to the cream and beat on medium speed until combined. Scrape the sides again and repeat with the remaining egg and flour mixture.
Gently transfer the pineapple onto a lined spoon and slice the pineapple into concentric circles with overlapping edges. Pour in half the caramel and carefully swirl the mold to distribute it evenly. Spread the batter evenly over the pineapple, then lightly smooth the surface with a spatula. Place a baking sheet on the baking sheet to catch any caramel that may spill, and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Place a plate on top of the mold and quickly flip everything over. Loosen the outer ring, remove the parchment and drizzle the remaining caramel over the exposed pineapple.
To serve, place the cake on the table, pour the rum evenly over it, and light the rum with a lighter or long match. Serve hot with ice cream.
