Comments on: Tamarillo Tiramisu http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/04/18/tamarillo-tiramisu/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Blanch (pour boiling water over them for a couple of minutes) them then skin and slice onto toast, sprinkle with salt, pepper and sugar, yum; even better if left overnight before putting on toast. Try them in a shortcake, again, devine. They also make wonderful relish or chutney Hi guys,

Thanks! The star anise didn't overwhelm it at all, it was quite a nice balance of flavours I think as there were the other flavours, perhaps on it's own it might be too much?

I've not seen the "boudoir" brand of sponge finger biscuits before. But is that a "Unibec" logo on the packet? To be honest, if I've eaten tamarillo in anything in my lifetime, I've not remembered it! So nothing comes to mind as far as what it tastes like? Beautiful photo's. I'm always worried about star anise overpowering things. I trust it works well with the poached tamarillo's? :-) How clever to use the Tamarillo’s this way!
