Curry and passion fruit mignardise

Lieven lootens is known for his uncommon, bold and daring flavours. A thoroughbred chef in the first place, he acquired a taste for chocolate, and infuses his pralines and mignardises with flavours one would rather imagine on a plate. The results are often surprising - yet incredibly catchy and they truly work with chocolate. This simple praline is as smart as it is delicious.
