Vanilla Poached Tamarillos #SundaySupper

November 16, 2014 By Manu 24 Comments

Vanilla Poached Tamarillos

This week, the #SundaySupper bloggers are sharing recipes with ingredients that are hunted or foraged. This can include wild game or vegetarian options or also special ingredients that you have to source online or hunt down at specialty markets.  I love the theme!  As I regularly cook with ethnic ingredients (where for ethnic, I mean Italian ;-P), I thought of sharing something else.  A little while ago, my friend Liz from Bizzy Lizzy’s Good Things, shared a recipe for Tamarillos.  I had never eaten them before, so I was very curious to taste them.  These are definitely exotic to me, so I think they fit the bill perfectly.  They are delicious, slightly tangy and beautiful to look at.  I love to serve them with some whipped cream mixed with crushed meringues, that add some sweeteness and crunch.  Enjoy and thanks Stacy of Food Lust People Love and Tara of Noshing With the Nolands for being such great hosts this week!

Ingredients

Poached Tamarillos

  • 12 tamarillos

    Everything you make looks bellisimo, Manu! And tamarillos are definitely exotic and different. But if you made it, I’d definitely give it a try!

    Manuela, thank you for this lovely shout out… this is ONE of my most favourite fruit desserts and I had the immense pleasure of watching the legendary Margaret Fulton prepare this in my cooking school! You’ve done a beautiful job. Thanks again.

    When I lived in New Zealand there were tamarillo trees everywhere. I once told someone I didn’t know what they were and she invited me to her friends orchard. I really liked them. These vanilla poached tamarillos would suit me just fine.

    I’ve never seen tamarillos before. Now I need to go to the big International market and see if I can find them. They look lovely.
