Preparation
Step 1
- For the tuiles, bring the orange juice to a boil in a small pan. Reduce to 40 ml and let cool.
- Stir all the ingredients for the tuiles in a mixing bowl until you have a smooth batter. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours so the batter firms up and you can form balls from it later.
- Meanwhile, for the ice cream, mix the strawberry purée with the water, cream, and lemon juice in a bowl. Pour the strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and churn until frozen. Store in the freezer until serving. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can put the strawberry mixture in a shallow container in the freezer until frozen. Stir it loose with a fork about every 15 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C for the tuiles. Roll small balls of the batter (⌀1½ cm) and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Slide the tray into the oven and bake for about 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the tray from the oven and let the tuiles cool.
- For the grilled pineapple, set the oven temperature to 180°C. Clean the pineapple and cut it lengthwise into quarters. Remove the hard core. Heat the coconut oil in a roasting pan. Add the pineapple quarters and brown them on all sides. Place the pineapple in an oven dish. Slice the ginger root thinly. Bruise the lemongrass and star anise and halve the vanilla pod lengthwise. Distribute these ingredients with the poivre long peppers over the pineapple and grate the gula djawa on top. Place the dish in the oven and grill the pineapple for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the boemboe, peel the shallots and garlic. Remove the stems from the chilies and peel the ginger root, turmeric, and galangal. Cut all these ingredients into equal pieces and preferably purée them in a meat grinder with a medium-fine plate
