In the Kitchen with Sigona’s featuring Strawberries
Gourmet Strawberries & Cream
Carmelo presents his Gourmet Strawberries & Cream made with locally grown strawberries.
Greek yogurt adds a creamy, near guilt-free element to this dish, which is sweetened with agave and our secret ingredient: balsamic vinegar. Eat it as a snack or for dessert. Serves 4.
Berries:
- 2 baskets fresh strawberries, stemmed and halved
- 1/2 TBL agave nectar
Sauce:
- 3/4 of 1 basket of fresh strawberries, stemmed
- 1/2 TBL agave
- 1/2 tsp aged balsamic
Greek Yogurt Plus:
- 1 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, we recommend Fage
- 1 TBL agave nectar
Garnish:
- 4 mint sprigs
For the berries: Stir together, set aside
For the sauce: Add all ingredients to a blender, bullet blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
For the sweetened yogurt: Mix together the yogurt and agave. Put the mix in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm it up (optional)
Plating: Swirl a spoonful of the sauce on a plate. Place a scoop of the yogurt on top of the sauce and top with the sliced berries. Garnish with a mint sprig.
