If the capon is included in the New Year's Eve menu every year on December 24, we systematically forget the recipe from one year to the next (or we are tempted to try new ones).
This is what we are all about.
This year, we play it original, no question of serving a classic turkey recipe to our guests.
We opt instead for a capon lacquered with honey, stuffed with soft apricots, red fruits, foie gras and nutmeg.
One of the most refined and tender delicacies, easy and quick to make.
As an accompaniment, we choose simple baked apples and white rice.
