Potato croquettes

 When we were living in France, we used to have some "countryside type" of lunches, or late breakfasts. Since moving to Canada, I have left that tradition behind and never made any of those "menus" anymore. Was it because I was too busy combining adaptation to a new country, learning a new language, a full time job and 2 young children? Perhaps ..... I'm not sure.

All I know is that this morning I woke up with the desire to make one of those traditional lunches we used to eat in France.

I grabbed 3 potatoes, 1 sweet potato and 1 onion in the pantry, 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 teaspoon of gluten-free baking powder, 3 eggs, salt, pepper a few tablespoons of almond milk.

I shredded the potatoes and chopped the onion.



I combined all the dry ingredients in a bowl, added on the eggs: stirred until combined and I added the potatoes/onion mix. I mixed well.



Hot pan, I put some butter to melt and dropped 1 large spoon of the mixture. Flattened it and let it cook until crisp on one side before flipping it over. I ended up with about 12 croquettes, that I kept warm in the oven as I was cooking the next batch and the fried eggs.




I platted with 2 fried eggs and a slice of ham.



DE-LI-CIOUS !!

Crusted lingcod

What's for dinner?? ..... the same old question, and after staring at the shelves in the pantry for about 10 minutes, I decided for some lingcod with a crust of walnuts and pecan. Ingredients :  - 1 filet of white fish ( I use lingcod as it's what we have in the freezer)  - 1/2 cup of mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons of mustard - 2 garlic cloves, pureed  - 2/3 cup of walnuts - 2/3 cup of pecans - fresh parsley - parmesan - 3 large carrots - Using a mandoline, slice the carrots and steam them until cooked. - pat the fish dry, and season with salt all over - in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and garlic. Spread generously on the fish. - put the nuts in a ziplock bag and with a pan, smash them!  - add the finely chopped parsley and about 1/2 a cup of freshly grated parmesan. seal the bag and shake to combine - coat the fish with a thick coat of the nuts mix, and put it in the oven ( temperature: 425˚) for about half an hour ( depending on the thickness of your fish). ...

Tenderloin grass fed beef with shallot sauce.

Being French, I was raised with good food, flavours, and a certain attraction to onions, and shallots.....  I bought this half cow of grass-fed beef, excellent meat, the only thing is: it's a brand new way of cooking. The grasse-fed meat is lean, therefore, if cooked at a high temperature, it becomes chewy. It's been a long learning process for me, I almost gave up on the type of meat, then I discovered Sous-Vide cooking. That changed my life !!  For the sauce, you will need :   6 shallots peeled and thinly sliced   1/2 cup of white wine 5 tablespoons of sour cream Olive oil Butter Salt and pepper   For the steak 2 tenderloin steaks   1 shallots Salt and pepper to taste.   Sauce : Peel and slice the shallots, and cook them in the pan with olive oil and butter.   When browned, add the white wine and reduce for a few minutes.   Add the sour cream, salt, and pepper, and reduce to thicken.   The tenderloin steaks : I use sous-vide for tender...

Sous-Vide chuck roast beef

 I buy my meat straight at the farm, and I like knowing how it was fed and where it comes from. Last year, I bought a cow that was exclusively grass-fed. If the meat was lean and tasty, it definitely lacked fat. I cooked it, and we ate it, but more than once I was disappointed with the result.  It was chewy, very chewy ..... I asked on some forums what my solution could be to avoid this fact, and one person came up with the idea of trying sous-vide cooking. I ordered a water circulating device, took a large plastic container, and gave it a try. I must say that I was not disappointed, and I decided to explore that method of cooking a little more. We finished that cow, ate it all .... and I went to another farm to buy half a cow that was grass-fed BUT grain-finished.  Today I tried to make a chuck roast, using the sous-vide technique and finishing it in the oven.  That was a success !!  Steps :  I used a frozen roast. Put it (still frozen) in a bag ( a ziploc...
