Ketsef & Strawberries

Ingredients:

* 2 eggs
* 1/3 mug of granulated sugar
* juice of half a lemon (optional)

Method:

1. Separate two eggs, and put the whites into a large mixing bowl. You won’t need the yolks for this recipe, so why not mix them with a little olive oil and sea salt to make a really good, moisturising body scrub? I know I’m a fountain of knowledge! ;)
2. Add 1/3 of a mug of granulated sugar (can be white or brown, but not too soft, ie demerara) to the egg whites. If you want you can add the juice of half a lemon, but this is optional.
3. Now unless you have arms as strong as a Mr Universe (or a formidable grandmother able to carry 10 shopping bags up a hill), and the speed of a helicopter blade, you must use an electric whisk to whip up the egg whites and sugar! This will take about 5-10 minutes depending upon your whisk.
4. The egg whites and sugar need to reach the soft peak stage, ie the mixture forms soft peaks (duh!)
5. Wash some strawberries, alpines ones for preference, or use large fruits and cut them up. (I don’t go in for this whole strawberry snobbishness!)
6. Serve immediately - you won’t want to wait!
