In Mauritius, people love football. I had the opportunity to verify this on my last visit in December 2022, when the World Cup was played. Football is about beer… And beer in Mauritius goes with a salad of gâteaux piments!
Gâteaux piments are a popular snack on the island, a snack that you eat in two bites. And if you happen to have any left over, they’re easy to use in this salad.
Its preparation is really simple. Chop the onion, tomato, cucumber and celery, crumble the balls of gâteaux piments, add fresh coriander, season everything with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and mix together.
This salad in Mauritius is of course accompanied by a well chilled beer.
Enjoy!
