Craving an original, easy-to-prepare dish that delights the palate? Chefs Cécile Rossi and Vincent Riebler, energetic thirty-somethings and owners of Paris' beloved Ouh La La! Cantine St Martin, share their exclusive gourmet taco recipe inspired by Corsican flavors exclusively for our readers.
Proving tacos can be sophisticated and nuanced, this recipe draws from the cozy charm of their rue René Boulanger restaurant in Paris' 10th arrondissement, complete with a sunny terrace.
Featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients like eggplant caviar, duck breast with red fruits, and roasted baby potatoes, their tacos come in hot, cold, sweet, or savory varieties on a weekly rotating menu.
This week, Corsica takes center stage. As seasoned restaurateurs with years of culinary expertise, Cécile and Vincent invite you to recreate their "Spinach and Brocciu Cannelloni" tacos at home. Bon appétit!
Ingredients for about 20 tacos (serves 6-8):
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and shock in ice water to preserve its vibrant green color. Drain again.
Roughly chop the spinach with the mint and garlic. Mix in the brocciu, eggs, salt, and pepper.
Spread the mixture in a gratin dish. Top with tomato coulis, then grated Emmental. Bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and browned.
Spoon the filling into warm tortillas and serve with a fresh side salad.
Enjoy!
