Bring 8 cups ( 2 litres ) of water to the boil
Salt the water then reduce the heat to a very slow simmer.
The saucepan should be large with a wide opening.
In a glass bowl , whisk 5 egg whites ...
Remember when beating egg whites , commence slowly at first to break down their resistance ...then increase the briskness of the beater as the egg whites start to thicken ....this ensues a better result .
Add 2 tbs of super refined sugar.... ( Sugar ground to a powder ) very slowly making sure you add it in small batches .
Bring the egg whites back to an even cocsistency.
It is time to cook your egg whites .
Make little mounds of egg white ( about an inch high ) 3 cm high on a skimmer , shaping them smoothly with a spatula .
Rest the skimmer on the surface of the very gently moving water in the saucepan .
The egg white mound will detach itself from the skimmer and float away on top of the water .
Repeat the process 4 times , to make 4 little rounded islands .
With the water fairly simmering, poach the islands for 15 minutes , turning them gently at the 7 minute mark.
Lift them carefully and drain on paper towel .
Prepare a coulis of fresh strawberries or blueberries...
Very simple process
Dissolve 3 tbs of super fine sugar in 7 tbs of water ...boil till the liquid becomes syrupy.
Pulp 200 gm of strawberries or blueberries
Then mix the pulp with the syrup and the juice of one lemon.
Pour the fresh sauce onto your dessert plates and place the islands on top.
Dress with fresh mint leaves .
