Chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Mawa McQueen is stopping by the TODAY kitchen to share her creative twists on two classic French recipes. She shows us how to make tarte tatin with seasonal fruit and salade nicoise featuring seared ahi tuna seasoned with warm berbere spice.
I love this recipe because the berbere spice gives a touch of African flavor to an otherwise traditionally French dish. This salad is wonderful because not only is it filling, it's endlessly customizable by making simple produce swaps for items that are in season.
Tarte tatin is a traditional French dessert that's a simple and timeless crowd-pleaser. Here, the classic gets a summery makeover with fresh, sweet peaches. The signature dramatic flip from the pan and eye-catching concentric swirls of fruit slices work together to make this an impressive end to any meal.
