Let’s prepare for summer plancha time with a medallion that melts in the mouth and is grilled to perfection.
We are serving this tender and juicy meat with an elegant Pink Lady® and celery salsa. The latter, fresh, powerful and lively, marries well with raw Pink Lady® apple, revealing its green aromas.
The balance of sweetness and acidity and its pleasant fruity notes, the Pink Lady® contrasts with the power of celery.
An almond-curry sauce, combined with a few toasted almonds, awakens the full-bodied spicy flavours of the nut, thanks to its natural oils. The dish’s combinations enhance the crunchy and aromatic notes of the Pink Lady® apple.
