2 pieces baked puff pastry, cut in 3-inch strips, 1/4-inch wide
1 tsp + 1 T honey, divided
1-1/2 tangerine with stem and leaves
1 tsp chopped fresh mint
1 T hazelnut flour

Brush pastry strips with 1 tsp honey and roll in hazelnut flour. Bake at 400° for 5 to 7 minutes.

Cut off and save the top of the whole tangerine; remove pulp. Purée pulp in a food processor with 1 T honey; sieve through a colander. Whip until smooth.

Fill a chilled cordial glass with champagne. Place the tangerine shell on a dessert plate. Fill with sliced tangerine and spoon in the sorbet; replace top of tangerine. Serve with puffed pastry strips and champagne on the side.
