APPETIZER: french mixed salad Ingredient for 4 servings: 1 endive lettuce 1 bunch of radiches 4 tomatoes 1 onion 1 clove of garlic Olice oil Balsamic vinegar dijonmustard honey salt & pepper Cut the tomatoes and the radishes in slices. Wash the lettuce and chop it. For the dressing: Cut the onion and the garlic in very small pieces. Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the ratio 3:1. In this case 6 tbs oil and 3 tbs vinegar. Stir in one tbs mustard and one tbs honey. Season with salt and pepper and pur it over the salad. Done! MAIN COURSE: French lamb stew Ingredient for 4 servings: 1500g (3.3 pounds) lamb legs 1 quart of french red wine 2 tbs olive oil 4 carrots 6 onions 15 cloves of garlic 4 bay leaves 4 small bunch of thyme (or 5 tsp) a hand full of black pepper salt 14 oz (400 g) bacon (one half in stripes the other half in dice) Remove the bones from the meat, if the butcher has not already done so. Cut off excessive fat (Not too much though: Fat carries the taste and is not necessarily your enemy) Cut the meat in 1.5-2 inch cubes and place it in a casserole. Add half of the diced onions and the chopped garlic. Cut the carrots in slices and put hem in the casserole as well the half of the thyme and half of the bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Now add the quart of red wine. Now let this marinate for 24 hours (at least 5 hrs). Line the casserole with bacon strips. Half of the marinated lamb is placed on top of the bacon. Then we add the second half of the onions, thyme and bay leaves as well as the diced bacon. Season it with salt and pepper. Now you add the rest of the lamb and the marinade. With the lid on top place the lamb stew in the oven at 220 degrees Celsius (430 degrees Fahrenheit) for 3 hours. (Caution: For the 3 hours it is advisable to a small snack handy, because smell of the stew is sooooooo delicious – it could drive you insane J ) DESSERT: french cheese platter Capridoux Frommage de chevre Fromage d'abbay Abdikas Petit Bries Les Chevalier Fomage mi chevre Capridoux Petit Munster Brie de Chevre
