Strawberries Es Torrent

From the very accommodating head chef at Es Torrent beach club in Ibiza. Best to use a very vanilla ice cream to offset the peppery taste!

450 gr halved strawberries
2 tsp butter
2 tsp sugar
2 turns of the pepper mill (or pinch dried pepperoncini)
splash of cointreau (or armagnac)

1. take ice cream out of freezer 10 minutes before start
2. melt butter and sugar over medium heat
3. add strawberries and saute 30 seconds
4. add cointreau and let burn off 15 seconds or so
5. as this is burning off, add pepper or peperoncini
6. scoop some ice cream into the middle of a plate, spoon strawberries and sauce all around
