Today, in Gastronomy Mondays in the Ardennes, chef Orphée of the hotel restaurant Robinson reveals his mirabelle plum tart.
If you observe a slight clear veil covering the skin of the Mirabelle plums, just rinse them just before eating them, this is a natural wax made by the Mirabelle plum to protect it from drying out.
