Tartiflette

2nd March 2017 by Mary Leave a Comment

A tartiflette is a gratin with potatoes, lardons and onions topped with melted savoyard cheese called Reblochon. It is a traditional mountain recipe and a perfect dish for cold weather !

It is particularly nice served with an Apremont, savoie wine.

Ingredients :

  • 1kg potatoes
  • 250g smoked lardons
  • 2 large onions
  • 150g crème fraîche
  • 1 whole reblochon cheese
  • 1 clove of garlic

Method :

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C
  2. Pre-cook the potatoes in a saucepan of salted water (traditionally the potatoes are sautéed but this dish is rich enough so I prefer to boil them)
  3. In a frying pan gently fry the onions until they are soft and translucent and then add the lardons and continue frying
  4. Remove from heat and add the creme fraîche or liquid cream and mix well
  5. Chop the potatoes and mix in with the onion and lardons
  6. Salt and pepper as necessary
  7. Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the cut sides around an oven dish
  8. Place the potato, lardon and onion mix in the oven dish
  9. Slice the cheese down the middle and place the two round halves crust up on top of the dish
  10. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and nice and crispy
  11. Serve with a green salad

SavouryMadeleines

Madeleines are one of France’s  favourite small cakes. In this recipe I’ve used a madeleine tin to make savoury bites for an aperitif – perfect size to eat with drinks and a little surprising for guests to see madeleines cakes that are actually savoury!

Endive and Pear Salad

EndiveSalad

Endives are a great winter vegetable and can be eaten raw in salad or cooked, see this previous recipe from myfrenchtable for Endives au Gratin

They are really crunchy but can be slightly bitter so they work well with something sweet such as pears as I have used here but also lovely with avocado for example!

Ham, Cheddar and Mustard Loaf

Ham&Cheese

This is another savoury loaf (or cake as they say in french!) which is perfect as an aperitif or finger food for a buffet. Personally I prefer the ham and olive loaf, the recipe for which you can find here, but this is a good alternative if you are cooking for someone who doesn’t like olives 😉

Endives Au Gratin

2nd October 2015 by Mary Leave a Comment

Endives

I was trying to think of a suitable name in english for this dish but couldn’t so I just stuck to the french one. Endives are mostly called chicory in english but are also called endives too.  A gratin means when a dish is topped with a golden crust, often using cheese or breadcrumbs by baking or cooking in the oven with an overhead grill.

A breton galette is a large, thin pancake from the Brittany region made with buckwheat flour, usually with a savoury filling – also known in France as a “galette complète” (or complete galette).

Bacon and Olive Loaf or “Cake aux Olives”

3rd September 2015 by Mary Leave a Comment

cake-jambon-olives-010m

Yes I know that the name cake will usually conjure up images of something sweet with a cup of tea but in France the word ‘cake’ really refers to the loaf form, be that savoury or sweet. This is one of my staple recipes – great as an aperitif or as a light meal with some salad. There are lots of variants to the basic ingredients which I will share in the upcoming months.
