Local recipe - Roasted strawberries with balsamic vinegar and vanilla crème fraîche

Elizabeth Treliving, owner of Home Cooking by Elizabeth, has been working as a caterer for almost thirty years so she knows a thing or two about what makes a great dish. She devised this brilliantly simple recipe at the height of the pick-your-own season at Garsons Farm, Esher, where they grow the best strawberries she's ever tasted, and she describes it as a 'timeless recipe for even a reluctant cook'.

Roasted strawberries with balsamic vinegar and vanilla crème fraîche

The combination of sweet, tangy balsamic vinegar with juicy strawberries, delicately vanilla-scented crème fraîche and crisp shortbread is a twist on that British summer favourite, strawberries and cream.


Ingredients

  • 450 g strawberries
  • 2 tsp icing sugar
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 small tub crème fraîche
  • 2-3 drops vanilla essence
  • Shortbread (shop-bought or home-made)

Preparation

  1. Hull the strawberries and wipe off any dirt.
  2. Place the strawberries in a roasting tin and sprinkle with the icing sugar, freshly ground black pepper and the balsamic vinegar.
  3. Bake in a moderate pre-heated oven for 15 minutes.
  4. Mix a few drops of vanilla essence into the crème fraîche and serve with the warm strawberries and shortbread.
