(Photo LOF - Strawberries & lemon)
Robert Courtine (French gastronomic writer ) used to say that he liked the first strawberries of the season with lemon juice - and thats all.
He also prefered them cut into bite size pieces to fit onto his spoon.
Our own tests with cut strawberries and lemon were not conclusive. Though the idea is good. The first strawberries of the year haven't seen enough sun to be sweet (except the Everest variety which is always excellent).
The solution is (thanks to Ester ) add an aromatic herb, mint, lemon-basil, or a touch of black pepper.No sugar.
It works!
