VEGETABLE CLAFOUTIS
Clafoutis recipe
Perfect Sunday dinner this one. You know “THE SUNDAY NIGHT” (it could be a film maybe don’t you think so?). When you come back from wherever-it-was : a little bit exhausted by the traffic, a little bit exhausted by the day, a little bit exhausted by the children (your friends, family, mother-in law, you choose) or simply a little bit exhausted full stop… Then you have to prepare something to…. eat for your family and you don’t want to do it. The restaurant ? You already been at lunchtime… A salad or nothing ? Your children are terribly hunnnnngry. Ok, ok, ok. Please find the vegetable clafoutis. You have nothing to do at all. Ok, open a pack of vegetables and mix it with eggs. Are you looking for the meaty side : add some ham to the preparation. Your children will be satisfied and you will finally have your salad to accompany it….Blessing!
Wine pairing : Cabernet de Saumur (Rosé) from the Loire Valley.
