Saturday Morning With Jack Tame

I love strawberries but this early in the season they can lack flavour. My advice is to warm them up! Roast or grill or in a pan with some sugar and lemon juice and you’ll find them a different berry altogether – jammy, sweet, and full of flavour.      Ingredients:  2 cups strawberries, hulled and large ones halved or quartered   1 tablespoon brown or white sugar    Juice from one orange    1 vanilla pod, halved and seeds scraped   Yoghurt or cream to serve   Handful of hazelnuts, toasted and chopped       Method:  Gently heat strawberries in a pan on the stove top or in the oven, with sugar, orange juice, and vanilla until they slump a little.   Serve with yoghurt or cream and sprinkled with hazelnuts.      Serving suggestions:    Spooned over brioche toast or toasted croissant topped with fresh ricotta. In a bowl with quality vanilla ice cream, a lick of balsamic vinegar or grind of black pepper
