Tartiflette with Cod

dinner last night.

tartiflette with cod.

traditional tartiflette is made

with potatoes, bacon, onion and

reblochon..a cheese from savoie france..

will just came back from an outward bound

week there and the kids were able 

to try it!

i got the recipe from 

Home Made Winter.

the author,

yvette van boven..born in ireland,

now spends her time between paris 

and amsterdam. i'm thinking i need 

her first book, Home Made as well

as Home Made Summer to add 

to my cookbook collection.

tartiflette with cod...

try it.

it's simply delicious.

here is the recipe...

8 firm potatoes..peeled.

3 white onions..peeled.

butter for greasing

salt and pepper

2 tbs fresh thyme leaves

9 oz (250 grams) Comte' grated

9 oz (250 grams) cod fillets, cut in squares

about 1 3/4 cups (300 ml) heavy cream

(i used creme fraiche)

pinch of paprika

( i didn't)

preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F).

slice the potatoes as thinly as possible

preferably with a mandoline. (i need!)

do the same with the onions.

butter an oven dish.

make layers: start with the potatoes,

then onions, salt and pepper, thyme, some cheese

some fish;

continue until you've used all

(trying to end with potato and reserving some cheese

and thyme for the top.

cover the dish with aluminum foil and place

on baking sheet (in case of dripping)

bake the tartiflette for 20 min.

remove the foil and bake for another

15 min. unti golden brown and bubbly.

(i also put mine under the broiler

for a few minutes)

seriously try this.

you'll sound all french

when your family asks what's for 

dinner

:)

bon appetite!
