In the heart of Provence, summer days are filled with the vibrant flavours of fresh local ingredients, but sometime, a fruit coming from abroad is ending up in a dish, to add a vibrant note to our day. Our elders would be questioning a Panisse and Mango Salad.
This kind of dish is a true representation of South/ co.
A blend tradition with a twist.
It begins with a Nature Panisse, sliced and sizzled in a hot pan until golden and crisp, its creamy interior offering a perfect contrast to the crunchy exterior. As the Panisse cooks, a ripe mango is sliced into thin, juicy pieces, its vibrant orange hue reminiscent of tropical sunsets.
With each bite, the salad tells a story of sunlit markets filled with fresh produce, the allure of distant shores, and the joy found in simple, well-prepared food. The Panisse and Mango Salad isn’t just a meal, it’s a celebration of the fusion of cultures, where the familiar meets the exotic, captured on a plate and shared with love.
