General practitioner, acupuncturist, homeopath and gastronome, Dr. Michel Chast concocts recipes combining gluttony and well-being, compiled in his book co-written with Catherine Barry: Eat, meditate, enjoy. The secret to full health. This month, the fruits show us all the flavors.

Fresh fruit tartare

Pour 4 personnes:
– 300 g of strawberries
– 200 g of raspberries
– 500 g of apricots
– 100 g of brown sugar
– 1 dessert spoon of powdered ginger
– 1 dessert spoon of powdered lemongrass
– 10 fresh mint leaves
– 1 vanilla pod

Prepare a syrup by boiling the brown sugar and the scraped and split vanilla pod, the ginger and the lemongrass in a little water. Remove from the heat and let steep for 30 minutes.

Rinse the fruits, dry them then cut them into cubes with 6 chopped mint leaves. Add the syrup, mix well.

Using a circle, arrange the fruit tartare on the plates, adding a mint leaf on top. Serve chilled.
