I told you about in my last post about the sea bream ceviche with avocado, pomegranate and lime. Chef Jimmy Desrivières from the W Paris Opera was very kind to share it with me so I could publish it on The Pineapple Chef. Here’s a second recipe by the same Chef, you lucky readers ! A beetroot cooked in coarse salt! Go and taste the delicious original version at the W ‘Saturway’ Brunch, every saturday (details and reservations at this number: + 33 1 77 48 94 94).Ingredients:
