This is a traditional recipe of the famous Alsatian flammekueche also known as tarte flambée that my grand-parents used to do every Sunday. They are traditionally baked in a wood-fire oven which makes a crispy bottom with slightly burned edges with a creamy topping. But don´t worry with modern ovens they are also easy and tasty to prepare. Using a wood-fire oven was part of the Sunday evening entertainment at my grand-parents.
This typical Alsatian homemade hazelnut pie has a thick and crusty pie bottom and needs to rest over the night to get the right consistence. This pie is a good idea as a dessert to end an Alsatian evening after some tarte flambées (which you can also find on this webpage).
If you're out of ideas for the end of the year celebrations dinner, this recipe will impress your guests. With this recipe you will have tender seared scallops together with a creamy and refreshing artichoke puree served together with a sweet orange sauce. It might not be the most common way of serving scallops, but it gives a combination of salt and sweet at the same time.
