Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn divides opinion: Most people love it; Some hate it. This is a sea buckthorn tart with a pastry crumb base. It’s got meringue, pine tuille, and a little caramel made with the sea buckthorn. The crunch comes from the meringue. What this dish gives is an intense flavour of sea buckthorn, which is very astringent and tart. It’s a celebration of an ingredient that’s under-used: We want to showcase it so that people become more familiar with it.
