Starters: Freshness and vibrant colours
- Beetroot & Red Lentil Mille-Feuille
For a beautifully plated appetizer, use our Groix & Nature Organic Groix Beetroot and Red Lentil Spread to layer between thin slices of oven-roasted beetroot. Alternate the layers to create a striking, elegant presentation that showcases this local Breton vegetable.
Plating tip: Use a pastry ring to assemble your layers of spread for a clean, professional finish.
- Black Radish Carpaccio with Seaweed Tartare
Arrange thin slices of black radish in a rosette pattern and top them with our Groix & Nature Seaweed Tartare. The marine intensity of the seaweed combined with the peppery bite of the radish creates a powerful, 100% vegan pairing. It perfectly embodies the artisanal expertise of our cannery, established on the island of Groix in 2000.
Chef's tip: Finish with a drizzle of fresh lime juice and a few dill fronds to perfect the presentation.

Dishes: Character and Breton terroir
- Belle-Île Oyster Mushroom Seafood Parmentier
Create a modern twist on a traditional Parmentier using our Groix & Nature Organic Belle-Île Oyster Mushroom and Buckwheat Spread as a base beneath homemade mashed potatoes. The woody notes of the mushrooms from the neighboring island offer a unique depth to this comforting dish, true to the expertise of our artisanal cannery, founded in 2000 on the island of Groix.
Chef's tip: Sprinkle with a hazelnut crumb before baking to add a delightful crunch.
- Linguine with Marine Pesto & Seaweed Oil
Toss our Groix & Nature Seaweed & Basil Marine Pesto with fresh al dente pasta. To finish this dish, add a few drops of our Groix & Nature Spring Edition Seaweed Oil, which will beautifully enhance the iodine flavors and elevate the basil.
Chef's tip: Stir in confit cherry tomatoes and a few toasted pine nuts for a perfectly well-rounded texture.

Desserts: The boldness of cooking oils
Offer an unexpected pairing between the sweetness of seasonal strawberries and the marine notes of our Groix & Nature Seaweed Oil. This bold combination highlights the fruit's natural sugars for a beautifully light end to your meal.
Chef's tip: Serve chilled with crumbled Breton biscuits for a wonderful textural contrast.
- Peaches in a Green Tea & Seaweed Oil Infusion (Vegan)
Infuse ripe peach wedges in a light, chilled green tea. Add a dash of our Groix & Nature Seaweed Oil just before serving: the iodine notes beautifully enhance the vegetal profile of the tea and the sweetness of the fruit.
Chef's tip: Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds to add a delightful crunch to this fruit soup. For even more smoothness, you can also add a spoonful of thick plant-based yogurt.
