Bored with Butties phase 6 (reposted)

Post by Muzorewa » Fri May 06, 2011 7:01 am

No chorizo for a change but this is most definitely not for the squeamish

The previous five phases have all featured my favourite recipes from Iberia so I suppose it is time to move the other side of the Pyrenees. Today’s offering is a little adventurous for Bongo-cooking but, just think of the reaction you could get on a campsite in Mablethorpe :lol:

Phase 6a
Tartiflette
A French dish from the Savoy region, it originated in the valley of Aravis, home of Reblochon cheese. It is not a traditional dish and was invented and launched only in the 1980s by the Reblochon trade union in an attempt to increase sales of the cheese. [-X It’s still delicious though =P~ :wink:
:idea: You can get Reblochon from good delis and some Waitrose & Tesco stores. :wink:
Or France :lol:

Image
Pancetta & mushrooms....

Image
Sauté the pancetta....

Image
....and set aside.

Image
Sauté the mushrooms....

Image
....and set aside.

Image
Slice & season some spuds....

Image
....put half the spuds in a cazuela....

Image
....then the pancetta & mushrooms....

Image
....and half the Reblochon cheese (note, it’s not the same with Red Leicester [-X )....

Image
....the rest of the spuds....

Image
....and a good dollop of double cream.

Image
Cook sloooooowly for a loooooooong time....


Phase 6b
Snails :-&
Image


Phase 6c
Frog’s legs :-#
Yes, I know, Asda don’t do them :-"

Image
:idea: Get them ready-skinned, it’s a lot less bovver than a hovver :wink:

Image
Coat in some seasoned flour and zap them quickly

Image

Image
Bon appetit!


Image
:oops:


PostScript
To eat snails properly you’re supposed to be equipped with a range of tongs & forks to hold the shells and dig out all that delicious meat, something along the lines of these....

Image

....but as I don’t regularly eat snails (well not from the shells, anyway) the Cordon Bleu effect was somewhat diluted with the use of mole-grips and a 0-pt Phillips screwdriver :? :oops:

It's only reposted because three of them seem to have disappeared - and someone might want to take a look at the whole series if you know what I mean :wink:
