A compote of strawberries, both cooked and raw, with the flavor of stewed strawberry sauce and the texture of fresh fruits. And to give a little twist, infused with basil (or mint if you prefer).
Weigh 2/3rd of the amount of strawberries, cut them in two or four according to the size and cook them for about ten minutes with a little bit sugar and lemon juice.
When stewed, remove from heat and add the basil or mint leaves. Pour into a container and let cool down.
Dice the remaining strawberries and set aside.
Just before serving, add them to the compote. You may choose to leave or remove the basil leaves, up to you.
Notes
The main steps: Cook 2/3 of strawberries with sugar and lemon. Infuse with basil. Before serving, add the rest of strawberries, raw and diced.
