Trying to find what to cook twice a day, every single day can feel like a Sisyphean task, even for me with a culinary blog! So, please find a dish that’s both delicious and easy to make, the pea and ham clafoutis. This savoury custard-like dish is perfect for any meal of the day, and it’s especially handy when you’re short on time.
What is clafoutis, and why is it so handy?
Clafoutis is a French dish that’s made with eggs, milk, and fruit or vegetables. Unlike many other baked goods, clafoutis does not require a lot of flour. In fact, you only need one tablespoon to make this dish. This means that it’s a great option for anyone who’s watching their gluten intake, or for those who simply don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
Clafoutis is also incredibly versatile. You can use just about any vegetable or fruit you have on hand, which makes it a great way to use up leftovers. And because it’s so easy to make, you can whip up a clafoutis in no time, even if you don’t have a lot of cooking experience.
Why is clafoutis a great option for families?
If you’re a busy parent like me, you know how challenging it can be to come up with meals that everyone in your family will enjoy. That’s why clafoutis is such a great option. Not only is it quick and easy to make, but it’s also very versatile. You can add any vegetables you have on hand, or even some leftover meat, and you’ll have a balanced meal that everyone will love.
In addition, clafoutis is a great option for anyone who’s trying to eat healthy. It’s a balanced meal that contains protein, vegetables, and a small amount of flour. And because it’s so easy to make, you won’t be tempted to order takeout or rely on processed foods.
Don’t forget when serving your clafoutis, be sure to pair it with a nice green salad. This will help to balance out the richness of the dish and add some extra nutrients to your meal.
A Perfect Match for Pea and Ham Clafoutis
If you’re looking for the perfect wine to pair with your pea and ham clafoutis, I recommend a Régnié from Beaujolais. This red wine is light and fruity, which makes it a great match for the recipe.
The Distinctive Wine of Beaujolais
Régnié from Beaujolais is a red wine that offers a unique tasting experience with its fragrance of berries, mainly red fruits like strawberries and currants. Its supple and fruity tasting notes are a perfect match with raspberry, redcurrant, plum, blackberry, and blackcurrant aromas, complemented with spicy and mineral notes. This wine is best served slightly chilled and can evolve nicely over time.
What Sets Régnié Apart
Named after the commune with its double-spired church, Régnié is a product of only the Gamay grape and became a Cru in 1988 after years of lobbying by local growers. The wine takes its name from the historical Province of Beaujolais, a wine-producing region located north of Lyon, and is recognised as producing the most distinctive wine in the region.
Aromatic Profile : Perfumed Scents and Suave Aromas
The appellation covers land immediately east of the village of Beaujeu and has intense perfumed red berry and floral pastille scents along with suave Asian spice and mineral aromas. It’s a light-bodied wine with refined tannins and easy-to-drink character, perfect for those who want to enjoy their wine without overwhelming their palate.
