Our recipe ideas with New Caledonia vanilla

Shrimp with New Caledonia vanilla

Let's start this meal with a shrimp dish that you'll be telling me about. Peel the shrimp and fry them in a little butter with salt and pepper. Remove the shrimp and pour in some fresh cream mixed with the seeds of a New Caledonian vanilla bean. Heat over low heat for a few minutes so that the vanilla develops all its flavors and put the shrimp back in for a few more minutes to reheat. Simply serve in a small bowl. It's light and tasty at the same time.

Sea bass with New Caledonian vanilla bean

Fry your sea bass fillets in a pan with butter and oil until they are cooked. Set aside. Put vanilla seeds and Isigny fresh cream with salt and pepper in the pan. Let it heat up for a few minutes and then put the sea bass back into the pan. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes.

Homemade vanilla ice cream

Let's end with a little sweetness with a delicious New Caledonian vanilla ice cream. Prepare a custard. Split a vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds then place it in milk for one to two hours. Heat the milk gently. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks and powdered sugar. Pour half of the milk over the mixture, beat and return everything to the pan over low heat until the custard thickens (it should coat the spatula). When the custard is cold, add fresh cream and place in an ice cream maker.

On a testé une gousse pour une chantilly à la vanille: c’est dingue ! Pas besoin de fruits ou de quoi que ce soit pour accompagner, ça se suffisait en soi.

Vanille correcte mais on est très loin du goût vanillé très intense comme indiqué dans la description. J'ai effectué une précédente commande chez un producteur de vanille bourbon classique de La Réunion et la vanille était aussi intense que celle-ci. Bref, bonne vanille mais qui n'a rien de particulier par rapport à une classique bourbon de La Réunion et qui n'a absolument pas de goût prononcé contrairement à ce qui est indiqué. Plutôt déçu.
