Strawberry Panna-Cotta with Strawberry Compote

http://www.epicurious.com/db/recipes/photos/106549.jpg

For panna cotta
3 cups sliced strawberries (1 lb)
1 3/4 cups well-shaken low-fat buttermilk
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin, from less than 2 (1/4-oz) envelopes
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

For compote
2 1/2 cups strawberries (preferably small; 3/4 lb), trimmed
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar

Special equipment: 6 (6-oz) stainless-steel or ceramic molds

Make panna cottas:
Blend strawberries, buttermilk, and sugar in a blender until very smooth, then pour through a very fine sieve into a medium bowl, pressing hard on solids. Discard solids.

Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften.

Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved.

Whisk cream mixture into strawberry purée and pour into molds. Chill molds, covered, until firm, at least 8 hours.

To unmold, dip molds in a small bowl of hot water 2 or 3 seconds, then invert panna cottas onto dessert plates and remove molds. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes to soften slightly.

Make compote while panna cottas stand:
Halve strawberries lengthwise if small or quarter if larger. Whisk together orange juice and superfine sugar in a bowl until sugar is dissolved and add strawberries, tossing to coat.

Serve panna cottas with compote.

Makes 6 servings.

this will be for friday night.

This looks quite tasty. It has more than 4 ingredients (not to mention it is a two part recipe) though and that usually just fucks with my head.

mmmmmm, can't wait to make this!

That looks wonderful.
