Assiette Gourmande
On Monday night, a propos of nothing in particular, apart from having a genuine Savoyarde saucisson in the cupboard, we had a little supper in the French gourmande fashion. Or so I like to think. It wasn’t really an Assiette Savoyard as there were no gerkins and the cheese was from Normandy, and my olives were distinctly Mediterranean. The bread was home made… only, in Scotland. But I strayed from my usual balsamic ways and did a walnut oil and dijon mustard dressing for the salad, and we drank red wine on a Monday so I feel we were reasonably French, if not wholly.
I feel flattered that the ol’ Ruby Chutney features in an assiette gourmande… but it does taste rather good, though I say it myself. Looks a fine feast.
Tonight we will have a similar venture, though the cheese will be Reblochon.
(I should really make another Tartiflette but we gotta eat something tonight and Lizzie made a fine batch of bread last night for the impending visitors.)
